How is it possible that it’s near 100 degrees in February, when winter has been absolutely killing us in Texas?

Keep up the good work!

Yes, Ben and Julia are actually making detailed drawings of pottery. Julia is using calipers to measure the thickness of the wall of the pot and Ben is checking a detail on the sherd he is drawing. For more on pottery, its importance, and what we do with it, you could have a look at a posting we did last year. And yes, galabiyas (the long robes) are very practical and airy.

Or is something drawn on the pots themselves?

This is so interesting.

I’m also fascinated, that, in that heat, the Egyptian men are comfortable in their long garb. It must shade the body and be quite airy!
