So day two of excavations and Mom and I were out at the site bright and early. Today was a slightly overcast day with a nice breeze so it was kind of cooler in the field.
We began by troweling again. We uncovered a lot more chert and one piece of charcoal that I hope to carbon date. Mom also uncovered a few pieces that need to be washed off to be identified but they are very light to be stone, perhaps ceramics! Also we found 3 quartz crystals, very cool.
We had a quick lunch around 12:30 and afterwards we decided to do a shovel test in the North West corner of the 2x2 square unit to try and figure out how thick the humus layer is. This layer is a lot thicker than I thought. So we decided that tomorrow we will go back and basically shovel out sediment that is dark humus and sift it all. Micah Risacher has agreed to help tomorrow, for which I am greatly appreciative.
