The little excavator toiled over the loose ash for hours before it displaced enough to make the port visible, and the ash was not yet cleared away sufficiently to open the portal when darkness brought a halt to the work. It would be impossible to unearth the spaceship with their low-capacity digger, Kennon decided. It would be difficult enough to clear the emergency airlock in the nose.
The machine consists of a strong truck, A, A, mounted on railway wheels, on which is placed the boiler C, the crane E, and the requisite gearing. The excavator or shovel, D, is a box of wrought iron, with strong points in front to act as picks in loosening the earth, and its bottom hung by a hinge at d, so that, by detaching a catch, it may fly open and discharge the material raised.
"We're old friends, Susan, and I guess you mean to be kind; but I've been warned before, and it didn't affect me much," he said. "If Ida wants to go back with you she may, but we'll leave it at that." He turned away, and, strolling into his own room, he took out the card model of the excavator bucket which Weston had altered, and examined it critically. "Yes," he said, "it will do its work.
A renewed splashing in the canal turned the attention of the watchers from the tree-cutting, and they saw that a single wise excavator was at work, carrying forward the head of the ditch. There was no impatience or desire to fidget left in Jabe Smith now.
Secret excavation is punished by confiscation of the finds, imprisonment and temporary loss of civil rights.

To a people whose ancestors made fortunes out of lucky "strikes," and who themselves have been brought up on stories of enormous wealth still remaining to be discovered by some fortunate excavator, the question of tesoro treasure, wealth, riches is an ever-present source of conversation. Even the prefect of Cuzco was quite unable to conceive of my doing anything for the love of discovery.
Moreover, our impression of these tombs has been formed from the monuments erected by kings, princes, priests, and the great and wealthy men of the kingdom. The multitude of plain unadorned burial-places which the scientific excavator records by the thousands have escaped the attention of scholars interested in Egypt from the point of view of a comparison of religions.
Munro nowhere suggests that any excavator is the guilty "faker." I now quote Dr. Munro's account of the unfamiliar objects alleged to have been found in Dunbuie. He begins by citing the late Mr. Adam Millar, F.S.A.Scot., who described Dunbuie in the Proceedings S. A. Scot. "The fort," writes Mr.
The student for whom these pages are written should not attempt any excavation, unless he has been trained under a practical excavator, and has learnt how work, which is essentially and inevitably destructive of evidence, can be made to yield profitable fruit. There is plenty of work that can be done on the surface of the ground without excavation. II. Sites of Towns and Villages. Nomenclature.
"Up the Nile yet?" "The Nile no, monsieur." "But you are going?" "That that I do not know. Sometime, perhaps." She sounded guarded.... He hurried into revelations. "I am staying not far from Cairo, myself. I am an excavator on an expedition from an American museum." "Ah, you dig?" "Well, not personally.... But the expedition digs.... We've had some bully finds."
