In the foreground is Stacy Reuter with Debbie Muyskens, two student diggers who barely broke a sweat in the hot tropical sun. Amazing!

Rutgers field school students wash Maya pottery, one sherd {piece of broken pottery} at a time!
This was the most arduous of tasks; after coming back to base-camp after already completing a hard day's work. . .
-As we did on a rotating basis each day.
This task was not cherished by all, as we had just arrived back to camp after a long hot day of digging in the sun. The rest of the crew are off to the solar showers.....
-Actually, 5-gallon plastic bags were suspended from the ceiling of crude stick-constructed stalls It took all day in the tropical sun to generate enough heat for one "shower"...Boy did we need it, sorry sods!

As I was not fully prepared, I didn't have a solar shower and thank professor Norman Hammond for dipping into his own supply...I also must thank him for getting me started on English breakfast tea.
....it gave me relief from drinking cafe-con-leche [instant coffee with canned condensed milk]

allen, on the right with a beard was a veteran from the 1983 field season and an all-around sweet guy.

Notice the "imported" Schlitz beer. Belikin beer was and still is the common (national) brew of Belize.

Also, notice the primitive huts with plastic tarps for doors.
Not quite as comfortable as Gilligan & Skipper's shack, but
we all eventually acclimated to our living conditions.

I'm the guy with his hands in his pockets, talking with (former) British site lab director/artifact conservator/bird fancier/snorkel fan, Jim Spriggs.
Jim has worked (famously) as a well-respected independent conservator in the former Roman stronghold of York, England.
