Museum Exhibit Photos

For those of you who requested, here is a link to where I've posted pictures of the museum exhibit I've been working on for the past year:

Boy does it feel good to have that up. Everything seemed to go well and I'm quite pleased with how it looks. There are apparently a few mistakes I need to fix, but that's to be expected. You stare at something long enough, you'll start missing things (as backwards as that may seem)
On a slightly more depressing note, I will not be graduating in December as I'd hoped. I just don't have the time to finish my thesis document, get it edited, work part time, and work on some public outreach projects I've got going. It shouldn't take more than one more semester, but that means paying for another class and STILL have this stupid thing hanging over my head :-P Ah well, such is life.

I also saw a native american dude in one of the pics XD
As for the exhibit, impressive.
Can you tell us more about the exhibit itself? What was your part in the process?

The exhibit is featuring the archaeology and artifacts from the Johannes Kolb site, an archaeological site in Darlington County SC. It has evidence of settlement from 12,000 years ago all the way up to the 1900s. Its now a land preserve through our state DNR. Archaeologists have been digging there every year for about 12 years. I've been volunteering at the site for about 4 years or so. When it came time to do my masters, I didn't just want to do a regular archaeology project in that I simply analyzed artifacts. I loved my museum classes so I thought I'd put together a little museum exhibit about Kolb. As far as my part in the process....I did everything really. Wrote the text panels, designed the backgrounds, arranged the artifacts, filmed and edited a looping DVD on primitive technology that plays in the exhibit and set everything up. It turned to to be a HUGE undertaking, and I don't think I'll ever volunteer to do something like that ALONE again, but it was also a lot of fun and I'm pretty pleased with the results.
from here it looks good!

I'm digging that first picture, with the various strata shown. Digging. Get it? Because it looks like a model of a dig. God I'm hilarious.
So you have to go back one more semester. That's a bummer. I almost had that happen to me, but I pulled a bunch of strings and got out of a whole class by substituting it for another, much easier laboratory course. In other words, I cheated. Maybe you could find some way to cheat? You probably have more integrity than I do, though.
