A busy day continuing our excavations -- and the hottest and most humid to date. We had an interesting caterpillar visitor today. The midden continues to produce many examples of pottery and animal bone. Below is a fine specimen of deer leg bone -- exceptionally well preserved. Our pits to the west also continue to produce interesting fragments of pottery -- including the jar fragment with handle shown below. We also took a break today to take our annual "Crew Photo" -- below is the tremendous crew and staff that have worked hard to discover new things about the history of Tennessee between A.D. 1150 and 1300.
