Sherds from a jar of clay

Well, yes I am actually going to blog, it has just been a busy week and Paul hadn't shown me yet how to post without his help so this is the first time I have gotten back to it. I said I would explain my blog name so... For those few readers who don't know me I am an archaeologist who specialized in ceramic analysis. (I worked in Honduras on Maya Periphery sites and I am not currently doing any archaeology). Sherds are broken pieces of pottery and in my time I have touched and examined hundreds of thousands of them. While it was always fun when the crew brought in a whole vessel, the shards actually often told us more about the pot and provided a wider array of data for understanding the makers. I am also a Christian and Jars of Clay are one of the images used in Old Testament to describe us as God's creations. Hopefully the bits and pieces of my shared on this blog will be as edifying and interesting as all those sherds were to me, some more then others, and hopefully they will give you some knowledge of me and hopefully I will in some small way reflect the God who made me.
