My last post had a photo of a hole I excavated
and I whined about how undramatic it looked. Today's photo shows you the find discovered about 2 centimeters below the point at which I had stopped.Anna had resumed the excavation of my hole so it is "Anna's Pot" Once the green eyes of jealousy had subsided, I was able to enjoy this remarkable find. It is significant because it is in the foundation trench of a stone wall and based on it's distinctive style, dates the wall to the Hellenistic (Greek) period. The wall and its foundation trench cut through the floor and the floor does not reach the walls. This indicates a floor dating to an earlier time than the walls.
Photo three is of the team working at our site (minus Jim who took ill yesterday). All the women except myself are German students from Heidelberg, as is Ulrich on the right. Charlotte, beside me, will leave tomorrow.
The last photo is a confession. This is breakfast which we eat at 9:00 AM - after 3 and 1/2 hours of work. And yes, I actually ate all of it.
