Description


In the Eye of the Storm by the Expedition House
VC03

           Dust accumulations grow fast in open areas but even inside houses. The depth of this fresh accumulation next to the wall visible in the foreground was about 1 cm. after the dust storm subsided.
           This fact is of particular interest for those who excavate - think how quickly a given artifact (or floor) can be covered - hidden to "history"!

The term "video" is used here instead of "film", as these sequences are raw unedited footage (as the term is taken customarily to mean).
