AREA 3000We began by wetting the area to identify colour changes in the soil. Areas of interest were outlined, and cut and fill lines were photographed with their respective numbers. The elevation of several points were measured using the total station. We continued to excavate the grave uncovered last year in the South East section of sector B, sketal remains were recovered. A grave was found in the North East section of sector B, fill number 3902. Fill number 3896 was also partially excavated. Skeletal remains and pottery were recovered from both numbers 3902 and 3896. Two other small sections were excavated but nothing significant was found. |
AREA 5000Today the group in the sectioned off area cleaned down the section and using a small pickaxe made the walls all 90 degree angles. The section supervisor decided that the debris should be cleared from the exposed wall as well as remove all the dirt off the tarp covering the burials. After it was cleared, the tarp was removed and the bones were prepared for a picture and eventual removal. Pottery and more bones were uncovered. The other group pickaxed the ground level and scraped the entire section down another centimeter. A slate and brick were found. |
