The props that will come with this are walking planks, retaining walls and planking, tarps, screen box, wheel borrow, archeology tools, specimen boxes, shipping creates, artifacts, stools, tables, maps & charts, a pose-able cottage tent and camping stuff.(still in the works) along with all their textures. I have placed a the default poser skeleton with a texture in the site pit to give every one an idea of what it will look like.

Do think this package will interest a few people?

Yeah, I could dig it. Neat idea. Props sound great. Suggest an area that will accommodate a larger skeleton than just humans. Dragon bones get dug up once in a while, for instance...

I am also thinking of building a sister site which will be geared to wards Paleontology. A flat bed-rock ground plain with Dino bones. But I will need to get good drawings of Dino bones in order to pull it off. Will have to research it for a while first before creating it. (this too implies dragons of old)

My God, that's wonderful! Yeah, if it's ready in time, I'll ask my Fiancee to buy it me for Christmas. :)

Thanks for your encouragement. I hope to have it completed by the end of November. This will be my very first product perhaps - if the Renderosity store will take it on.

This is quite original and unique...at least I haven't seen anything like it. Great idea. I would sure consider buying it. It looks very interesting.

Cool idea with lots of spinoffs.

looks great

I would consider buying if it's not too expensive. Marque

It looks great. Anything along the lines of graves always interests me. The default Poser skeleton looks much better than the one I have. Must be a custom texture.

Looks really good! I mean r-e-a-l-l-y good.

Indiana Jones anyone... This has a lot of possibilities, I too would consider getting it if it wasn't too expensive. William

Verrrrry nice...maybe one comment...some sort of grid work ffor recording purposes ? Most of the sites I see these days in photos are being very well recorded . Also possible a couple of 'spoil' heaps, pottery shards ??

It looks great indeed. And the texture on the skeleton is magnificent! I'll surely buy it if it's within the my reach (IE that I have in store credits for it ;o) ) I LOVE archeology/paleonthology.

I still have lots of work to do yet on this project. I gave a just a general list of headings that props would fall under in my first post. There will be artifacts (i.e. shards, pottery, jewels, etc) depending on culture and their time periods. Cultural artifact packs could be products or freebees in the future I can create as projects. Freyfaxi there will be a string grid with stakes out lining the pit, a black and white recording stick and major tool kit(s) used in the study and practice of Archeology. There will be a range of about 50-60 items when finished with all their textures. I'm guessing at this time but the Archeology Site Pack will be perhaps fall in the range of $20 dollars USF

I love your site ...will be spending some time there to read and look at your links and rings... I did a minor in university in anth and arch and worked on a class project on a Mic Mac burial site here in northern part of New Brunswick, Canada Can any one obtain the Hunley model... its wonderful?

I'm thinking about doing something with the Hunley model, which is still very much in work.

Might be interesting to add some "further digging" morphs to the pit so we could do a series of pics (or an animation) of the latest discovery emerging into the light.

RHaseltine,the pit does have morph targets along the outer edges. The four sides bend up or down each independently so you will be able to blend it into your terrain in Vue or any other app. I found so far that the Poser default ground plain cutting through the pit with the very same ground textures raised up or lowered down on the y-axis gives a good time laps photography affect that you are talking about. Stretching the pit itself with a morph target creates funny distortions in the walls of the ground textures.
