Today we resumed work back to normal speed. My team was able to move a good amount of dirt. One team located a metal plate it was very light weight and also had some intrecate design painted onto it. Also another team began to shape a new square which they are soon to move into.

Today we went out on the site for the first time since 2 weeks ago due to rain. A lot of balks were down in most of the squares. In my square a pot that was upside down is showing just on the edge of an interior balk. One team found an intricate pot which had some sort of pipe inside of it. Today wasnt really the best work day it was more of reforming our squares.

Today we worked on some research on specific items which the students chose. I am doing a painted pot which we found on the field. I searched the internet looking for roman replicas that have been found at other dig sites around the world. I was able to find a good amount of information.

This week due to rain we will be spending our time inside. We will have to wait until it gets dry on th site until we are able to begin digging again.

Today was filled with the smell of vinegar due to a paste we were cleaning a statue with. Also a lot of gluing was taking place. One team was gluing a clay plate. Another team was gluing two statues. Another team was gluing a marble plate and a marble glass. Overall a pretty productive and educational day.

Today all the teams got out to the field pretty late. So as soon as my whole team got out there we started digging. We moved over six buckets full, which is pretty productive. There was a few find but none more significant than the past. One team is almost to the base of their square going off and m.c that is resting in the center of their square. Also we were taught how to sweep the base of the square and to learn how it is the base.

Today we leveled our whole square and also went down a few cm. on one half. One of the other squares found a marble plate in a corner of their square. It was broken into three different pieces. The other square found a shield that goes to one of their statues. My team was able to move a lot of dirt today.

Today we didn't find anything to interesting. We did almost level our whole square. Another team found a glass bowl and some fabric. The glass bowl had been chipped a little bit from the pickax. Also the other team found the bottom of their wall which is below 2 feet of dirt.

Today we cleaned the mc's(material culture) that we uncovered in the previous weeks. We were looking for any encryptions or items that would lead to its origin. The other team cleaned the sword and the statues they had found a week ago. The located some of the shattered pieces of an ivory statue that were misplaced in the dirt. No one really went into any farther studying of any of their material culture.
