Photo 1: my hole
OK, I've dug a nice new hole this week. Finds have included: a plastic cup, a Fanta can, 2 cheap metal forks, paper, a coin from 1973, nails, broken glass beer bottles and the turn screw off a sardine can. In archeological terms this is has the highly technical title of a 'contaminated fill.' I've also uncovered a wall and although in line with a large wall a few feet away, it is not the same width - suggesting a different time period or structure for the two walls. One of the reasons we're re-excavating this area is because the prior supervisor for this very complicated area failed to keep daily records. sigh.
The real excitement today was a visit by the elderly gentleman in the second Photo.
Question of the day: Who is he?
You got a visit from Mel Brooks?! How cool!
