Of Cemeteries and Cellars: The Archaeological Diary of Grand-Pré

A Tense Moment in the World of Washer Toss

There’s no secret that archaeology is a competitive profession.  Every time another of the crew finds an impressive artefact, especially in a section you’ve been working on, it feels just a little like you’re being stranded in the Well of Souls, it’s full of snakes, and your enemies all have necessarily ambiguous accents while they tell that what once was yours, is now theirs…

So, in that environment, why not embrace the competitive spirit in situations that won’t likely lead to being trapped in Evangeline’s Well by your most bitter co-workers?

The solution: competition. Constant competition.

There are washer toss competitions.

Sandwich-making competitions.

And, just for our readers: Mystery Artefact of the Week Competitions.
