Today we found that we are at the bottom of our square so we need to level out and we will be done with this square. We also found more of the pieces missing from the little statues. This week has been a good week for material culture.

The Great Day
October 29, 2008
Today started out the same way as all the others by getting the levels of our square. Then a high school art class came out to see what all we had done. In the first part of the class Zach found a small statue in pieces. This was an awesome find, but then we found a bronze statue that we dug down level so we could pull it out of the square. Our day was still not over, a little later we found what looked like a household God but a very small statue. The two small statues we found were broken so we had to be careful and look for the other pieces. Today we found the most material culture that we were able to take back to the classroom.

Showing Others
October 27, 2008
Today a young class came to learn how to articulate on small toys. They seemed to have a lot of fun but I did not have a buddy.

The Dagger
October 24, 2008
Today while our group was picking we hit something that sound different then that of dirt. As we articulated around the object we noticed it was leather. Once we were able to remove it from the dirt we discovered it was a blade of some sort.

More Digging
October 22, 2008
Today was our long day. We had to move down 20 centimeters to get to where Mr. Thames wanted our group to. We did not find anything today but we did expose more of the wall.

Class Time
October 20, 2008
Every Monday we are in the classroom so Mr. Thames took today to make sure we understood how to graph the points and also understand why archaeologists do this. Archaeologists use this to see the stratas that we find the material culture on.

Elevation

Mr. Thames took today to show our class how to graph the points we gather to see what our square is doing. This new method helps us create a 3-D image in our minds.

Understanding our field
October 6, 2008
Today we stayed in the class. We spent our time trying to figure out how big the building is we have discovered. We have found a couple walls in multiple squares.

The Wall
Wednesday October 1, 2008
As our square was working down level we came across a brick. So we started to make our square level with that brick. As we did we discovered that this brick was part of a wall right through the middle of our square.
