Check out their website if you are looking for a really adventurous trip. You may even end up in Tepe!<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned at the very start of the season, putting together an archaeological expedition of this size is an expensive proposition and we get our funds through a variety of public and private sources. Our visitors from Far Horizons have\u00a0very kindly\u00a0given donations in support of our fieldwork and I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge their help in this year&#8217;s success. Thanks to Ronald Guttmann, Diana and Peter White, Susan Silver,Tony and Lawrie Green, Willian Tate, and the John Miller family for making this year&#8217;s excavations possible. I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank Richard Behrman for his generous on-line contribution to the 2011 field season. One reason we&#8217;ve been able to pursue our scientific explorations this year is because of your financial help.<\/p>\n<p>So, safe journeys to the Far Horizons group and we will see you all on Friday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year we have enjoyed visits from a number of groups &#8212; both old friends and new.
