Digging

So today and yesterday were pretty much the same day, dig-wise anyway. Lots of waiting, more waiting and also listening to Geoffrey dictate the Preface to Our 2009 season, which is required for our end of term paper on our findings. But once we did start digging yesterday (with like and hour to spare) we found a third metatarsal! and then parts of the rest of the foot and maybe some fingers today. Apparently, well there are two burials in this area. First Burial A4 (I think) is just above burial A3 and the bones we found were in between the two. It's hard to explain without a picture, we shall try. After Burial A4, was completed, then new Burial A3, just below the bones we found, partially cut Burial A4 order to complete the burial, but Burial A4 was re-dug in order to reuse the grave and ended up cutting into Burial A3. Or something like that. Very confusing, with the stratigraphy and all. Shannon and I worked in this small area (the one i just talked about) of about 1'x1' (its supposed to be cm but :P) for almost the whole time, there were so many teeny tiny fragments it was crazy meticulous, and so fun! XD We also opened a new trench (well not me, Simon, Pericles, Vicky, Casandra, Rebecca, and Amanda).

Other than that, after we got back I did a little shopping, read Eclipse on the beach (and no, it did not enhance the romance of the book because there is none) got treated to Pantelis! Hooplah! for economical leftovers! And discounts! And soon I will be watching Firefly! Go Simon!!!
