So proud of Doc L’s. fledgling archaeologists. In two short weeks we have learned so much. Who would have thought that we could identify so many different types of ceramics in just two weeks? Each unit looks neat and tidy with walls and levels that have been carefully combed through with careful notations of the artifacts found and the levels we are at. It is so interesting to begin to see the context of the rooms, hearths and outsides areas and how they relate to each other.
The weather has been perfect and we are learning and feel like one big team now.
We had two guests giving us a hand today. Young Emily, and Doc L’s friend, archaeology guru Will joined us.
Carl Halbirt (the city archaeologist) comes by to see what we are finding and is able to identify odd bits that we find.
We are starting to learn good methods of fieldwork and see the big picture. It is no longer the “Sabate” site but rather we can see the family of Pablo Sabate and hope to learn more about him and the Minorcans. The inside and outside parts of the complex become more evident to us. It is all very exciting.
Unit 1 - Hit more floor and found a very interesting belt buckle.
Unit 2 - Digging out 2.2 and finding glass, charcoal, marble at Canova level and an 1895 penny.
Unit 3 - Some interesting crock and ceramic a lot less metal. Color change but not sterile sand yet.
Unit 4 - Tabby not sterile sand yet. They run the gamut from Jiancinto wall (First Spanish) to Sabate.
