Shovel Test Archaeology, Anthropology, Paleontology, Geology, & Soil Science Humor

Archaeology, Anthropology, Paleontology, Geology, & Soil Science humor for Anthro Geeks, diggers, shovel bums, and other unsavory types. Oddities of History & science. Funny t shirts, bad puns, & line~toeing of good taste. 

 

The Backstory of Shovel Test 

As a child I spent a lot of happy hours just digging up interesting stuff out of the ground.
or
My husband is an Archaeologist and since I share his interest in archeology & anthropology, and like designing, a CafePress store seemed a logical way to combine my need to make money and my sense of humor.
or
Anthropology jargon irritates me to no end. There's already a perfectly good word for broken pottery bits: shards. But no, professional jargonese requires a special word: sherds.
AAAaaaaaarrrggh.
Don't even get me started on the word "chert".
So, this store, full of bad, cringe inducing puns, is my revenge.

My Favorite Designs 

T shirts that I still giggle over, even though I designed them.

Shirts That Don't Show The Dirt (As Much) 



Brown, ochre, ash, tan, brick - funny anthro t-shirts the colors of dirt to hide some of those mud stains you get working in the field or back at the lab. Isn't that useful?
