Area 3000

Today in Area 3000, we continued to excavate the three graves we were working on. When arriving at the site, we discovered that there were possibly six graves that intersect with one another in the southern half of Area 3000/B. In the southwest, we began excavating two individuals of possible six in the graves. The one that was the upper half of a body was further worked on, a possible grave that intersected with the initial one was started. The intersecting grave revealed an individuals with a rosary chain and bead with the arms appear to be crossed across the chest. Multiple teeth and long bones were excavated. This excavation will continue tomorrow. We also continued excavation in the southeastern section of Area 3000/B of the skeleton of an adult individual oriented west-east in a supine position. There is only the upper portion of the body, intercepted on the left side and lower limbs. We took GIS measurements of this skeleton and hope to fully excavate it tomorrow. Just above this skeleton, we also uncovered a collection of various bones. In the northern half of Area 3000/B, we completed excavation and documentation of the reduction grave, and removed the skeletal remains. We then opened a new grave in the northeastern most section of Area 3000/B, and found that there are at least two individuals buried in this grave, with one possibly being a reduction. Conjoining the two individuals with in the burial is a radius directly below the crania of both individuals.
