Part of the KBP archaeology team takes a break from clearing the erosional face of a sand dune above a large deflation lag. Left to right: Natasha Slobodina, Bre MacInnes, Erik Gjesfeld, and Molly Odell. There are three tephra layers visible in the foreground of this photo: two are at waist level of Natasha, and one extends from Bre’s elbow to Erik’s knees. All of the prehistoric cultural material was recovered between the two yellow tephra layers. A fourth tephra not encountered in the excavation unit can be seen directly above Kaoru Tezuka in the background. Urup Island, Kuril Islands, Russia.
