Another brief report for today -- your daily reporter was at work in the field from 7:30 am until 5:00 pm and then at a meeting in Nashville until after 9:00 pm. A full report will be posted on Wednseday evening!
Work continued today on the part of several of our crews to further investigate the chimney base...
Other students worked on examining some of the many postholes and posts we have discovered. The photograph below shows Lacey and Pat excavating a posthole with ancient cedar post remnant still in place. Unlike some of the postholes mentioned in prior updates, this one appears to date to the 1850s.
As it now nears midnight and I must be up and away at the break of dawn, I'll close off for tonight. Check back tomorrow!
