This looks to be a robot encased in a glass box with a GPS on top. Those archaeologists get all the best toys...

A new excavation at the forum.

They also have brass pins everywhere. I came across dozens in both random locations and in front of statues.

This trip convinced me that my wife will be trained on the RTK as soon as she has recovered from delivering our son in February. 6 months pregnant and she led the charge walking everywhere for 4 days. We covered most of the city and my feet were sore every night.

Cool Pics!! Congradulations on the newbie!! I would love to go to Europe. Sad thing is they probably didn't even blink at the price as it pertained to the overall budget of the project, whereas we cringe to even think how much materials cost, (flagging, stakes, gas, ..etc.)

Standing on Capitoline Hill and looking our over the Forum toward the Colosseum was a dramatic experience for me. Seeing the remnants of so much great architecture, imagining the area occupied by the people who, 2+ millenia ago, were developing concepts and practices that underpin so much of western culture, was really stunning. We were only able to spend an hour or so there, but I could easily have spent a full day wandering through the ruins just absorbing the atmosphere. Along with much of Rome, it's a bucket list item.

"Millennia" is one of the words I misspell alot. The second "n" always throws me.
