Expedition Extras

The expedition was joined in Boa Vista by several other people:


 * Two archaeologists from the Federal University of Roraima joined the surveying and dig.
 * Dr Lucas Ferreira, a young mestiço who grew up in the Boa Vista slums, grateful for his opportunities and passionate about his work.
 * Dr Estevan Almeida, older and of pure Portuguese blood, dapper, witty, fond of jazz, and very fluent in English.


 * You were also joined by Dr Lucia Correo, the expedition’s medical doctor, organised for you by Cátia.


 * Taruka Ch’ayña, a professional guide from a local tribe, who spoke Tupi and Quechua, young, exceptionally knowledgeable about the local area, and beautiful too.


 * Two assistants from the university:
 * José Gomez
 * Douglas Martins.

'[EDIT: was there some shady bacon going on with any of these guys? Chatting up Taruka for example?]'
