Laura: After getting started the first thing that was done was
surveying the areas of which we were to dig. You’re probably thinking that it
mostly involved surveying equipment and that it is relatively an easy thing to
do. It’s a bit opposite, for at least the students. Most of the first day was spent with us crawling
on our hands and knees searching for artifacts on the surface. Then we
continued to use the surveying equipment to set some points in to where we were
going to dig. After the flags were in place, we created precise 2x2 meter
square units to start digging in. The second day consisted of taking off the
sod level with our shovels and trowels. Even just under the grass some units
started to find artifacts. The excitement is just beginning!
