Hallowe'en Party

Yesterday night, our living room was transformed into a cave in which we hosted our Hallowe'en party. Dressing up was mandatory, so we all got a good kick out of seeing who came as what. Ed dressed up as a pimp, Ben was a mime, Hannah was the Absinthe fairy, George was an Umpa Lumpa, and I dressed up as a 1920's flapper girl. In keeping with my genetic tendencies, I was on the floor with my dress sewing it a half hour before the guests were to arrive....
It was a lovely evening nonetheless, and I glad we did it. For Wednesday, Hannah and I are going to carve pumpkins so if we get any trick-or-treaters, we'll be ready!!

These are some photos of Dudette 1, my second box of bones. I had fun using the microscopic attachment to get in close to the cavity.

To earn my degree, I have to complete a project and dissertation in this, my final year. My project consists of cleaning and reassembling the bones from 5 boxes. Presumably there are 5 individuals, but this may not turn out to be the case. These bones are from either the 5th or 6th centuries, and were found in Southern England. So far I have one male, and one female appropriately named: Dude 1 and Dudette 1 respectively. I'm now working on the third box, which I think is going to be 'It 1' as I can't really see whether it's a male or female.
As it is my project, I can take photos of the bones. Below are some photos from Dude 1. I will post photos of Dudette 1 later on.
