Middle of the Second Dig Week

| No Comments

Well the heat is getting to all of us and it's starting to show. The songs and conversations are getting weirder by the day, yet progress is being made. In our group just yesterday we were making lyrics for the "Budweiser: Real Men of Genus" series using the title "Here's to You Mr. Amateur Archaeologist." Once the song becomes presentable I'll share it with the world...if the world is ready?

In our new square just across the road we are finding some interesting wall configurations. For some reason we have a few walls stacked right up next to each other, literally 6 inches apart. We have a few crazy theories but nothing credible or plausible. Oh and the walls have names. The wall you see on the top left of the first picture is Sally; it's also important to note that Quinn is quite proud of that wall. The other wall on the top right is Harry (where Harry met Sally). On the next picture you will find Wally and Wallita.

In the A zone of the dig they are making some progress finding anything that may appear behind the alter area of the church.

Over in E0 they are essentially done digging their "deep probe", they hit bed rock and really didn't want to go further.

And I really don't need to mention the progress in D5, their square is still full of a bunch of crazies. :) Actually they are right next to us and we fill the day by hurtling insults and demeaning comments about the quality of each others work through the humid, hot air. This picture of Steph says it all. (off the record they are making huge progress in finding a floor and opening a doorway)
