May 23rd Flagler College Archaeology Field School Dig

It was sunny, hot and humid.  In other words typical Florida weather.  The people from Unit 3 moved to units 1 and 2 and 5 to help.  We are getting our sea legs because the terrain and layout from unit 3 is very different. It is good to change to see how different the challenges of digging in those units are. There is a lot of floor and coquina.

I got the feeling that the heavy scraping of the coquina and the humidity slowed us all down today.  Nick C.'s mom came through for us and brought frozen lemonade and strawberries.  Wow...it really gave us a second wind.

We have a guest expert archaeology friend of Doc. L.'s named Will and it is wonderful to listen to his expertise.  We are very lucky. We have Doc. L, Carl Halbirt, (the city archaeologist), and Will mentoring us and sharing their knowledge.  What a gift!
