Today was a day of no digging. The agenda was clean and prepare the site for photography.
I cleaned C4 and D4 by brushing all the soil off the walls and sweeping the floors. No footprints could be seen in the photos. When all the sites were properly cleaned I went around with Dr. Schuler and photographed. My job was to set up the meter stick and place the north arrow in every picture taken. After the pictures were taken, I helped set up the safety fences we took down on the first day of digging.
After four weeks working on an archaeology dig, it is clear to me that archaeology is not as it appears in the movies (Indiana jones). Archaeology is hard work, but in the end it pays off. Archaeology is the portal to understanding the past. Farewell Hippos, Until we meet again!
