A stamp for marking bricks of hash or O?

Closest, not there yet though.

It's an opium package.

Here is the tougher challenge.  There is a piece of ceramic next to the north arrow in this picture.  It is Chinese related.  Can you name the type of ceramic and infer a function.

I will name it Steve and declare that it is for lying on the ground until someone picks it up.

I will imply, you can infer. 
It has the function of the pointing variety.
:-P

huh? are you suggesting he should have written "can you name the type of ceramic and IMPLY a function"?

i sure hope not.

nab used 'infer' correctly above.

Then again, the style of writing I use when talking about these sorts of things tends to be heavily influenced by the type of literature I read on the subject.  Scientifically correct and grammatically correct are often not the same.  Infer (or inference) is a loaded term which embodies many different meanings and interpretations in archeological literature.

Very pleased to see all the McCarthy queued up, and that it is being taught (sunrise, what grade or classes do you teach?).

I'll be interested in hearing about the Foer. Unlike McCarthy, of which I've read everything, I haven't read Foer yet. He certainly has his enthusiasts.

I'm an adjunct at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. I teach freshman expository writing and intro finction. I think I gave you the wrong impression, though--I just read The Road; I haven't taught it. I did teach Toni Morrison's Beloved, but stopped using it recently because it was too much to deal with every semester, since having a little girl. The Road was a similar experience for me as a father--I was moved deeply and not entirely comfortably by the consideration of parenthood in extreme circumstances.

Excellent, and not your fault, I misread your post. What books do you teach in the intro fiction course?

Interesting first-hand look at the difficulties research scientists face when they are sucked into the public policy process.
