We went down on half of our square today since it was a short day, and we made it even with the top part of the column thingy that we found yesterday. Derek wasn't here today so it was a lot harder to get the work done, but we worked hard and earned our shake break.

So today was supposed to be lab day, but the little kids from Ms. Gonzalez's class came and dug with us. We each had partners and my little kid was named Erica. Mr. Thames had buried some odds and ends and the little kids got to dig them up. A nice break from usual boring lab work

So on Friday, Chris Miller was not there so not as much dirt was moved, yet we still made some of the best discoveries yet. The team uncovered more of the wall in the corner of our square and traced it to a little further down (my doing). We also discovered that the item we believed to be a brick was actually what seems to be the base of a statue or a column, we are not sure which. For the bad news, the plate that we extricated on Wednesday was found to be broken and in the future, we should probably be more careful with out M.C.

Today was the first long period I've had in a while. Team Beta made quite a bit of progress today. we uncovered what looks like a brick from something and we finally extricated a plate that has been sitting there forever. We probably dug down around 10 centimeters and our square is almost level. All the other squares are looking good as well.

this would be the first entry on my new fangled blog thingy . im travis, hi. we started doing ths doing an archeology project at school like 3 weeks ago, or something like that. my group, beta, consists of derek, jared, chris and I. chris is the first square leader but we all will get a turn. our square is B4 on the grid, and we already have a wall partially exposed, expect more in the future.
stillll nothing found. its been like 5 weeks and nothing. at least were level though
we found a part of the wall, group betas first find, and like the first major find of any of the groups, yessss. but we still are behind? i dont know but i found a wall yeeah.
derek is the new square leader. yippie. that means no more pushups and crab walking around the field. oh and also i have to go to the room before and after every class and get stuff. happy day!
more digging, and i had to do a pushup. derek if u read this i dislike u
nothing much doing today, we just dug a little bit more and arent quite level but almost

score!

we found the corner of a wall! we had already found the wall, but today we found a brick that we believe to be the other side of the wall, and because we already have 3 sides of a wall exposed, we think we have a full room

yeah...

we dug up a marble juglet a few days ago, cool word, and today we discovered a marble plate of the same color, in around the same spot. we could be digging in a kitchen or a dining room
