All fossils and artifacts recovered become part of the permanent collection of the Florida Museum of Natural History. The preparation of field notes documenting activities and observations is a daily obligation for all team members. Main camp tents will be pitched in a mowed field in the village of Nutall Rise, the nearest outpost of civilization to our sites. Bathing takes place in Nutall Rise spring. A smaller, more primitive site camp will be established in the swamp on the riverbank nearby the excavation for logistical and creature support during the work day.
Sanitation is by portolet at the main camp, and pit latrine at the site camp.
Each team member must provide their own camping equipment, with the exception of cooking gear. Prepared meals will be delivered daily to the main camp cabin at Nutall Rise. All meals are provided by the project. Meal setup and cleanup duties are shared equally by all team members. AAUS standards now require current Oxygen Provider certification of all research divers .
