Towards a very early #SketchbookSunday: Another glimpse into the illustrated #ExcavationDiary ...
Field office. And how was your Sunday so far? #ExcavationDiary
Tell me, who needs a TV with a view like this?
#MyAnatolianVillageLife #ExcavationDiary
Good God, that was a pretty big snake! o.O
#WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes? #ExcavationDiary
Archaeologists don't wear Fedoras. Well, not always.
#FieldworkSelfie #ExcavationDiary
Morning view. Unfinished T-Pillar in #Neolithic quarries, #GobekliTepe site in background.
#ExcavationDiary
Ah, how much I missed that muezzin wake-up service. At half past 4 in the morning. #ExcavationDiary
Ah darn, stuck in commuter traffic. Yet again. ;-) #ExcavationDiary #MyAnatolianVillageLife http://t.co/AP8JQTIVpC
Morning of the #superharvestbloodmooneclipse. Leaving the excavation, for now. Returning, rather sooner than later. #ExcavationDiary
"Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?" #ExcavationDiary

#ExcavationDiary: Archaeological excursion 'into the tombs' ... http://t.co/WhUJkkNW9q
Photoshoot. On a thin line. All for science! ;-) #ExcavationDiary

Looking out of side window, radio playing Kurdish traditionals, can't but appreciate these barren plains' untamed beauty. #ExcavationDiary
#ExcavationDiary: Features way down in old #excavation trenches - access removed long ago. Finally hours in #bouldering gym pay off! ;-)
Dear mosquitoes, I'm OK sharing my blood, but would you please stop buzzing around my head all night? Thanks. #ExcavationDiary
Neighbors just brought little sheep into courtyard. How cute. Oh, wait ... #MyAnatolianVillageLife #ExcavationDiary #FeastOfTheSacrifice
Lot of animal noise around here in the village. Some nervous sheep it seems. Oh, silence ...
#MyAnatolianVillageLife #ExcavationDiary
Today, live at the Tepe: "The Men Who Stare at Profiles". Archaeologists.

Remember how lush the Tepe looked back in spring? Well, this certainly changed over summer. #ExcavationDiary http://t.co/wz8i6zsCLz
Why, of course I missed being woken up by the muezzin's call at 4 a.m. Glad you asked. :-p #ExcavationDiary
Please help me, why exactly should I bother to ever leave the #excavation house again? ;-) #ExcavationDiary http://t.co/FnvwJ8U68z
Cook returned from shopping groceries. Could feed entire village now, I think. #feasting #ExcavationDiary
Right back at the Tepe. Summer's not yet ceasing; tourist numbers somehow did, though, it seems. #ExcavationDiary http://t.co/fbnopYwdwE
Um, think I just seen my first tank around here. On a truck bed. Truck driving away. So, nothing to worry here, right? #ExcavationDiary
Once more: Any place I hang my hat is home. Our rural Anatolian village idyll. #ExcavationDiary http://t.co/6z7CqTw5YE
Ah, finally made it to Turkey's very southeast. Excavation house (#HomeSweetHome) as cosy as if I never left. ;-) #ExcavationDiary
A bathtub and a toilet seat. God, I'm so easy to please. :-p #BackFromExpedition #ExcavationDiary
#ExcavationDiary: Girl in airport lounge reads book on our excavation. Curiously looking around who else might have come to visit the site.
#ExcavationDiary: Leaving expedition and #MyAnatolianVillageLife behind (for the moment). Long way home; back to the study.
