ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm home from my dig. I am exhausted. This week I at least was able to dig on a real feature. It is a garbage pit. We found broken pots, "points", lots of ash and charcoal. It was very interesting. The paperwork takes longer than the digging. Everything must be recorded with great acuracy. After bringing it back to the lab you have to wash it, and then catalog it. Every artifact gets its own number, which is painted on the back of it. Pots are glued together if you can find pieces that match. I took tons of pictures and will be posting on my Kodak site. More later.
