Days 5 & 6

We will skip apart about the technical difficulties and get on to the good stuff.

Day 5

On this day we had very interesting day in class with Ted and learnt about a number of important finds which are effecting the way we currently look at archaeology. Some of these were Monte Verde in Chili, Kennewick in Washington, Spirit Cave Man, the Paisley Caves and many other sites.

The second part of this day we were able to learn about different types of faunal - which are bones from Cathy and were lucky enough to have pop quiz.

Finally we ended off this day with an environmental hike based on Archaic era food led by Aldo.

Day 6

Moving right along, today we were back at the dig site yet again. Todays main aim was yet again to move as much dirt as possible as this end of the site is deeper than the rest.

Today we found a lot of white ware and more nails. Many of the nails we have found are horse shoe nails and long square nails. We also found a decent amount of vessel glass which is thick and has a distinct curvature or seam.

Cheers for now
