Emily, Thomas and Inga, and Denton, Tomoe and Merredith at Structures 1 and 9 respectively, have finished excavating and are now drawing profiles of their units. Ben, Eric and Ivey are continuing their excavation of Sub-operation E to the west of Structure 5 in the hopes of finding a midden. Thus far, they've been thwarted in their efforts but tomorrow is most certainly going to be the day! Outside of excavation, everyone has been working in the lab to clean and categorize their artifacts, writing up their final notes and crafting their deeply insightful reflection papers.
Bill has continued the task of creating a topographic map of Sinsimbla. This is accomplished by taking elevations (using equipment like that used by surveyors and road crews) with a Total Station and prism at hundreds of points around the site.
And, given that it's the end of the season, we thought it would only be fair to share photos from the menagerie of critters we've seen in the field since we've been here.
Not pictured are the geckos, the centipedes or the landowner's parrot.
Tune in tomorrow for a photo diary of the skin afflictions experienced over the past three weeks.
