To clarify: yes, I have been digging all this week. The photos in my post from yesterday (High and Over) were taken last Sunday :)
Below are some photos from Tuesday and Wednesday at Mota Piece:

| Look closely and you can see (L-R): Bader, the castle, and one of the Observatory domes |

| Creating shade for official photography |
 |
| Level and string line (the level is full of liquid with a bubble in it; if the bubble is in the middle of the level when the string is pulled taut, the string is exactly level. The string line is used for taking measurements when drawing trench profiles. |

| John's method of stopping the gazebo roof poles from collapsing during high winds: tape, a reinforcement rod and zap straps |

Here's a video I took of our site:
Wow; that's a pretty big tray of "finds" from 7A! Is it mostly pottery shards ? Are those teeth in a couple of the close-up photos ?

Hi Hanna,
ReplyDeleteI have a question. Do the trenches get filled back in at some point ? Is there work going on year round ??
Dad
Really cool! Lots of finds, not just the little black rocks!
