The weather continued to cooperate with another beautiful June day. Each day we entertain a number of visitors. Below Dr. Tanya Peres (Zooarchaeology Project Director) and I chat with Heather and Giovanna -- archaeology graduate students from the State University of New York at Binghamton -- along with Mike Moore (State Archaeologist) and Chuck, an archaeologist from Nashville.
Most of our day was spent digging through another 10 cm to further expose some of our features in the south, east, and west units. We should have these cleaned up and ready for photography on Thursday. Each of these areas continues to produce quantities of interesting artifacts, like the large rim of a pottery vessel shown below.
On Wednesday afternoons, we have a lecture (with pizza) to provide student with information on a variety of archaeology topics. Below, Dr. Peres gives the students some basics on identifying animal bones.
