Today was a busy day. We uncovered artifact after artifact. I believe the final count was five. First we found a pot in the baulk on the south side of our square. Then we found another pot in the left corner. Then in front of those was a small cup. Lastly directly in front of that was a big wooden bowl and spoon. All in all we accomplished a lot today and are almost down with the square.

Pictures are not yet updated.

Today we worked on cleaning material culture. The other team worked on cleaning and putting back together a shattered pot. My team worked on a plaster plaque that was really dirty and also shattered into many different pages. We have successfully cleaned and put together about 50%.

Today was an extremely hot day. I was very worn out by the end of the dig. Our main task today was to look for mud brick which was assumed to be right around the area we were working according to the square directly next to us. Unfortunately we did not find any mud brick. The other square was able to uncover a pot in their new square.

On Tuesday we continued to dig in our square. We were able to move quite a bit of dirt. My team was concentrating on finding some mud brick that we hypothesized would be in the layer we were about to dig through but we were unable to find any. We did not find anything significant today. It was a really nice day however.

Today we continued to work in our square. The other team worked on a baulk that they had began tearing down yesterday. My team worked well but did not find anything too exciting.
