Jon's Room of Death


This is one of my first lithographs, from a tech standpoint you can see that my stone wasn't perfectly level because it is lighter in the middle, although I was trying to work with that design wise.  This was the best one I managed to get off this, and it is newsprint.  As to content one of the unseen aspects of archaeology are the comparative collections, we have them for things like seed and bone.  We have them to help identify what we find, and as a controlled way of learning what different things mean.  Jon's Room of Death was the honorary title given to the processing room at the archaeology center.  Jon was by far the star of the archaeology department, and budding bones expert (I believe he went on for a doctorate at U of Tenessee where the body farm is).  No he didn't actually wear the surgical mask while processing animals.
