This curse is not dangerous but pretty annoying. It's inevitable. ALWAYS happens. In a week we close the excavation and we celebrate the end of the expedition with a party in Ushuaia. If we count that we need three days to pack and to protect the site (until next year!), dismantling the tents, decamp, the transport to laboratories and storages, artifacts, equipment, tents, etc, that means that we have only 4 days and a half of excavation work. And as ALWAYS happens, during the final stretch of the excavation EVERYTHING appears: in the base of the shellmidden we find large quantities of stone tools, sea lion vertebras and a huge amount of fish remains. Accumulations of the coal from the fireplaces are immense. Inside the depression (in the place of the old hut) we fins arrowheads with some other stones half finished to obtain other tools. And fireplaces are continuing to appear. On top of another layer of shells, an articulated seabird is emerging (a non eaten albatross?). And this morning another possible awl: in this shellmidden it looks like if they produced many baskets. The curse never fails. We will have to work hard.

Everyone knows about the curse of king Tut’s tomb. More myth than reality. But few people alien archaeology know The curse. The real one.
