The world according to square 7J69

Michaela, Ibrahim, Feraz, Amed and I are masters of square 7J69. Michaela is a recent graduate of La Sierra University, History major, archaeology minor, and was a student of mine in cultural anthropology. She probably had not imagined that we would be students together finding our way in the field methods of the archaeologist. Our Jordanian workers are helping us with Arabic and learning some English. Feraz is a college student, Amed is still in high school, and Ibrahim has a cell phone/mp3 player that he occasionally turns on for Jordanian pop music. His nickname is Abu Turkey. Abu means "father of" ... usually followed by the name of your child. Apparently the joke is that he wants to name his first child "Turkey." Haven't got to the bottom of that one, but check out his T-shirt.
