Today we did not find to much. We did although clear a mound that was in the square. One of the teams is almost do the bottom of there square which they know by going by a wall that sits in most of there square.

Today we continued to level the rest of our square it is about 3/4's leveled out now. Thought we may get a little farther, but there were too many finds to count. In our square we uncovered an oil lamp and a very small pot with a little colored spots. The big pot located on the northern side of the square is almost totally uncovered. Another square uncovered a household god and a mosaic tile. They also found bits and peices of another wing-like statue but yet to find out what it is.

Today we continued leveling. We have leveled about one half of our square. The big pot that is slightly uncovered in our square seems to have been chipped about a 3 inch piece on the lip of the pot. It is about 3/4 uncovered. I would be surprised if it wasn't uncovered fully by tomorrow. Another square has located a house hold god of some sort they are still in the proces of articulating it.

Today we took some younger students out to our dig site. We taught them how to use a patiche and a trowel. We also taught them them basics of the dig-site. We took them over to the dump site and let them practice with the dig instruments and let them find the misc. items. They seemed to have fun digging around in the dirt.

Today we continued moving dirt out of our square. Another team found a well intact saber sword that looks like it is roman.

Today we began to level out more of our square. At the beginning we were leveling just about one fourth of it. Now we are working on leveling ad least half of it. Soon we will be leveling the whole square, but we have a lot of dips and hills so it is just taking a little time. Didn't find any significant finds today, but another team articulated and recovered a marble plate that seems to be fairly new compared to our Jewish home finds in our other square. Interesting to see what time peiod that comes from.

Today we went out to the field. It was slightly wrecked from the storm. We put up some more sun resistant rubber bands on our boundary lines. We began to pick axe a few mor centimeters and unloaded a few bucket fulls of dirt and then leveled off. Overall a pretty uneventful day.

Today was filled with paper work.We were taught how to plot points on a topography graph in order to see where material culture(artifacts) were located in order to better understand its origin.

Today we continued leveling are square. We didn't really find anything exciting. We just moved a couple buckets full of dirt out of the square and sifted it. No other squares really found too much either.

today we began to level our new square, it didn't seem like we got to far but we were able to recover a gold and silver coin , but are not yet sure of its origin, also we had some items on the surface to begin with such as a small pot and a quite large red jugglet but have not yet articulated the large juglet due to it being in the ground about 10 or 20 c.m.

this week after fully articulating our previous square moved on to a much larger square in the middle of the field, today we just worked on getting the boundaries up and attaching string on to the posts in the square

today we surveyed the dig site from the classroom and identified some objects, the most metionable of which was a stone that has been engraved meaning the house of David, we also started to hypothesize how large the building was in which corners have been uncovered in certain squares

today we have completely articulated the wall on the southern side of our square at about half way down we uncovered a iron nail that we believe was holding beams together. the nail much like resembled a railroad tie in present day

we have began to articulate the wall on the southern side of the square, while getting the surface level with the wall we carefully articulated another wooden beam increasing our thoughts that the still standing wall was remains to a jewish home
