About
Colleen Morgan is an archaeology Ph.D. candidate in the Anthropology Department at the University of California, Berkeley. After receiving her B.A. in Anthropology/Asian Studies in 2004 at the University of Texas, Colleen worked as a professional archaeologist. Since that time, she has worked in Texas, Turkey and California, excavating sites 100 years old and 9,000 years old and anything in-between. Her dissertation is based on building archaeological narratives with New Media, using digital photography, video, mobile and locative devices. She is deeply interested in excavation methodology, high falutin’ theory, skeuomorphs and good bourbon.
Here are some of the other places she lives:

II. Middle Status of Savagery.
It commenced with the acquisition of a fish subsistence and a knowledge of the use of fire, and ended with the invention of the bow and arrow. Mankind, while in this condition, spread from their original habitat over the greater portion of the earth’s surface.
The name of the blog is from Ancient Society written in 1877 by Lewis H. Morgan. He classified all societies in these arcane categories, and I decided that I was somewhere between Lower and Upper Savagery.

Hello,
I have a question about your old Live Journal, could you please email me? I don’t know you, but found something very strange when I did a google search of my name.
Thanks

Hello
I just stumbled upon your blog through a “photography” tag on WordPress. I just spent a hour going through your posts and I know nothing of archeology, but damn I am enthralled and have seriously enjoyed it.
I just added you to my reader and I look forward to reading more posts.

Hey Colleen,
I was meandering around the internet, looking for references for an article we are trying to put together on a site in Egypt. I stumbled across your musings on the Museum of London Manual… I was quite (pleasantly) surprised to track it back to you…
The internet is a deliciously small world
In short: nice blog, see you in Turkey (hopefully?)
