Last Week of Excavation - Day 3 - by Josh T.

Crew #4 (Daniel Pritchard, Lilly Jones and Joshua Taylor) continued our excavation of our control unit.  Our control unit had revealed over 100 colorful chert flakes on the surface alone and as we stopped at 10cm level yesterday, we noticed the tops of possible ground stone and even pestles.  That being said we were very excited to see the possible features as the excavation revealed them.

Our crew works well with each other; fortunately that has been the case during the entire field school.  As we sweated away, we used caution and care to reveal the features of the 10-20cm level.  By the end of the day the entire ground was covered in possible features.  We will have to wait and profile the feature in the morning.  Back at camp, our guest speaker was Chris.  He had some great information about his field work out on Santa Rosa Island where his team has found 9 caves, some with prehistoric significance.  He also had some great info on underwater archaeology.
