Site 2 starts tomorrow


Today has been one of those days that drag on and on. Last night we had some nasty storms come through and the winds brought down on big branch next store to us. Everyone was very lucky that the branch missed all the cars and the houses. I slept through it all which I thought was completely amazing. As the day finally seems to be ending I am super excited about starting the second site in the field school. We will be at a lot across the street from the Center for History. The last recorder building on this site was a drug store. As far as we know there has not been any looting activity or previous excavation activity at this location. So we are hopeful that what we will find will be in able to be documented in context. I am learning a lot about myself and archaeology this summer. I now know that me and pollen do not mix. I am still recovering from nasty hives and man do they itch. Other than this minor speed bump this class was the perfect fit for me. I wake up and wonder what we will find today and knowing that it might be nothing does not bother me one bit. I am going to be bringing Natalie out to this site later this week or early next once we have our sample spots opened. This way she can help with screening the dirt we remove from the site. I did not get a darn thing packed today but thats okay I still have 50 some days before we move and that gives me time. I have decided to put a picture from the Williams street site in todays blog.
