Today we cleaned up the site because Mr. Thames is going to have an open house tonight. We also began preparations for shutting down the site such as removing stakes and weeds. The class overall was very educational and still just as fun the second time around.

Today we worked on cleaning the rest of the artifacts that we uncovered last Friday. We cleaned an oil lamp and a circular pot. Today was the last day of cleaning artifacts.

Today was once again extremely hot outside. We are so close to finishing, we have about half of the floor uncovered. We discover a grenadircular pot only a few inches away from the floor. It has a redish orangish color to it and was uncovered by Brant. Also on Tuesday I forgot to mention, we uncovered another Juvenile skeleton.

Today was extremely hot. We worked on our square and began to uncover the floor. The floor is a dark grey and very uneven. This house was definitely of 1st century and possibly a servants home or just a poorer family.

Today was extremely hot. We did get quite a bit of work done however. At fruit break we had popsicles instead which was a delightful treat. We did not find anything today too exciting.

We were unable to work in the field today because the site was still to damp to do any effective work. We just surveyed the site to see if any new artifacts had been unearthed. One observation of the site was that many of the balks had completely collapsed.

Due to rain we were unable to work in the field so we worked in class.
