Jim,
Thanks for being so understanding. I'm sure I will get a lot
out of the course. I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm an archaeologist and my research deals with prehistoric
stone tools and the kinds of rocks they're made from.
Specifically I'm looking at how the kinds of stones used
affected how the tools were used and how this changed over
time. My work is based in northern New Mexico.
Thanks again for everything!
Cheers, Harry
