Day 13! Dig Dig Dig!




Another full day of excavation, and everyone is making fantastic progress! Every unit is on track to finish  Level 01 by the end of the day tomorrow. In a few areas where erosion has made the plow zone thinner, we are starting to see more of the B Horizon, where we expect to find features. 




In fact, in Unit 01 we are seeing what is possibly the beginning of a wall trench feature! Note the straight, parallel lines and darker soil color. Wall trenches are linear features that people dug to more easily place the wooden posts that formed the walls, and later were filled in with topsoil with lots of organic contents.

Some other notable finds from today:


A big piece of shell tempered pottery, also from Unit 01.
 

Retouched flakes from Unit 03 (pictured above), and Unit 07 (not pictured).


A decorated pottery sherd, from Unit 03.

Keep up the awesome work, team!
