Unit 2 updates

 As you all know we have moved to a new unit, and so have the mice. When Mom and I went out the the new unit and removed the tarp we found about four nests and the two mice running around. When we started to move some of the equipment the mice jumped into a crate that holds our trowels and such. They were actually kind of cute and probably at this moment enjoying the shelter of the tarp.

Unit number 2 is proving to be very promising. So far we have collected a lot of materials just on the surface. Mom and I went out to the site and staked out the 2x2 meter square and removed the plant material from the surface. Just by doing that there were chert flakes visible. This new location is at a higher elevation than the first unit and a bit closer to the earthworks. I'm very excited to see what kinds of materials this unit holds and who knows? Perhaps we will get lucky and find some really great pottery.
