At the CCASM December 21 meeting we did something a little different. It was so close to the holidays that we decided not to have a speaker but to still have an archaeological theme. So we played Archaeology Jeopardy. And since it was the holidays, Mary brought cookies and snacks we could enjoy while playing the game.
Those attending (including one attending via FaceTime) divided into three groups. Instead of using buzzers that we would not be able to distinguish, each team has to choose an animal sound. We got this idea from the Mid-Potomac Chapter that routinely plays this game. So we had a duck team (Linda and Mary), a dog team (Doug, Linda, and Denise), and a cow team (Peggy, Pat, and Ned). As often happens the Final Jeopardy wager was the decider. The cow team won. Carol was the host and Frank was the score keeper. Everyone seemed to enjoy the game even though the host had to occasionally be reminded of the rules.
Answers for two of the categories came from an older Middle Atlantic Archaeology Conference version of the game. For the other three categories Carol provided answers relating to local archeology, previous CCASM speakers, or other things we have been exposed to while volunteering in Charles County.
Thanks to Peggy for bringing the hot spot and allowing us to test out connecting to someone remotely, and thanks to Pat for being the guinea pig. It turns out FaceTime is not the best option for a presentation, but it worked fine for Pat to be able to participate in the game and demonstrated that we can now get internet access in the Community Room.
As always, thanks to Mary for the great refreshments.
Sorry, completely forgot to take any pictures.
