The Excavation Begins

Third day in the field, and so begins that excavations! Some of the group did shovel testing (digging small pits with a shovel or auger and sieving the dirt to see what's there - this helps to determine the extent of a site as well as what might be found in it) while the rest of us started excavating a disturbed midden.  To read more about that, check out the Day 3 page under the field school heading.
