It hasn't quite been a year since the last post, so I'm counting that as a victory. I don't have anything in particular to say, contrary to the last several posts; I just need to write something, anything, after two weeks spent fairly out-of-it with a species of flu. I was already desperately behind on numerous deadlines previously, and now I'm desperately behind plus two weeks on basically all the same deadlines. At least I have succeeded in finishing moving everything from the old to the new apartment (both in Pisa for those following along at home), so I can cross one thing off the list of impositions of the material world.
A few weeks ago I managed to send off a short article on the use of stone lathes for the creation of column elements (bases, drums, capitals) in soft stone (such as tuff), which needs further development but is at least a start.
In the near future, I need to wrap up articles on: the geology of a specific site in Rome, an overview of geochemical proveniencing of building stone at Rome, and a handbook chapter on mineral resources in antiquity. Plus figures deriving from an excavation campaign. There was a deadline for a contribution to conference proceedings today, but that was not going to happen, given the circumstances. Oh, and there are emails!
