Dig Day 8- Home, Sweet Home. Sort Of...

| No Comments
Today, I returned to my square. It was a lot like coming home to me. It was a good feeling. Then I realized that I was a few thousand miles away from home, and where I was was no place like home. Anyway, we got a lot of work done in the square today. Apparently, since I was last there, they opened up more of the square(s) for us to dig. They uncovered the back wall of the room we wanted to find, and followed it to the opposite corner. And they followed that wall even past the corner, and it turns out, there's a doorway into another room just outside of our square. So today, we worked on uncovering more of the back wall as well as the corners. We removed several large rocks with the "Arny" Net, as well as several other ones without the net. We didn't have any small finds today, but it was still a rather productive day.

I was really glad to get back in the square today. I was able to get a lot more work done, and the regular water breaks are nice, too. Uncovering walls seems to be much more beneficial to what we're trying to accomplish within this church structure. And although keeping walls up is part of that, you can't repair a wall that hasn't been uncovered.

All in all, it was a good day. Tomorrow, we will be uncovering the rest of the room directly behind the apse to see what all it was used for. It sounds to me to be an interesting dig day. But only time will tell... or God... He could tell too...
