It rained extremely hard this past week so Tuesday we all worked on finding information on our objects. Wednesday we started watching National Treasure 2 from the archeological view point which i believe was very beneficial to the class we finished the movie on Friday and look forward to start digging  next week.

We stayed in the classroom today and cleaned all of the things we had found the previous week. It wasn't as laid back as usual because we had so much stuff to clean. Our group glued the marble plate we found weeks ago back together and our silver bowl/cup. The other groups cleaned off a household god and different parts of the statue. We also found a shattered plate that we a working on putting back together. We have to write papers on some of the objects that we have found and hopefully will learn more about the history we have uncovered.

Today is the end of the week I cant wait for the weekend this has been a very stressful week. We surprisingly got a lot done today we totally leveled out the square. We also did not cheat the system this entire week and actually dumped at the dump site. It actually gave a sense of accomplishment because we moved dirt and we moved it fast the correct way.

We got a lot of work done today. We leveled out and fund a lot of ancient items today. We are getting closer to the floor and articulating the pillar we found the previous week. Today we found a silver bowl/cup, about the size of your fist. We also found an ancient plate in the very corner of our square partially in the balk. We also found a glass, it is a light shade of blue looks as though it was used as a decorative or a wine glass. We had a great day today and worked extremely hard and fast. Derek didn't stop working the entire time we were out digging.

Today is Tuesday we dont have very long to do dig, but today our group was confronted with cheating the system. We have been dumping our dirt next to our actual square. Our supervisor was actually very cool about the whole situation and only required us to clean up the mess. Our group is doing a lot better and we are all looking forward to tomorrow to make a lot of progress. The Alpha team found a household god today and are getting closer and closer to the floor of their square.

Today was a pretty successful day we got a lot done, cleaning M.C's and such. Our group has not found too much lately so we helped the other gropus clean up a few things and then picked subjects on which we are to research. We are not positive on the details of the project yet but i chose loom weights. They seem to be very abundant and common.
