friday the 27th

on friday, we stayed in class and talked about our powerpoint presentations that we have to do. Mr. Thames showed us a few examples of presentations. we have to choose one or two artifacts, describe them, and research everything that could be known about them. we then wrote down all the artifacts that have been found and everyone chose what they wanted. i am going to do my presentation about the cyclodic Greek figure and the axe head.

on wednesday, we had block but stayed inside because of the rain. first block we assembled the bones of the skeletons and tried to put them together. I put the baby's legs together while others put other bones on, finished cleaning the fertility statue, and cleaned the skull's teeth.  on the break, we got shakes :) second block we continued putting the skeletons together and tried to put a few pottery pieces together. 

on tuesday, we went outside. we didn't work on our square but tried to clean another team's square that had collapsed a little from the rain. nick, ana, and ashley worked on one square and me and timothy worked on another. i swept up some loose dirt from the inside of a wall and removed the flaky parts of the ground. 

monday the 23rd

on monday, our team went out in front of the SLC to clean the skeletons.  i cleaned the rib cage of the baby skeleton and others cleaned the adult skeleton. we used toothbrushes, paint brushes, and water to clean them. then, we brought back the skeletons to the room.

tuesday

Today, we went out and used the picks to go down a few more inches. we made aline around the rocks and then cleaned up the loose dirt. Then, i went to get klenex from the bathroom....

monday

Monday, instead of staying in class and cleaning pottery, we went out and transferred two pine tress to the front of the dig site. first, we dug out 2 holes and removed the trees from their place and placed them on the dug holes. After that we put the dirt back in and watered the trees.
