2004 TRENCHES PF 5E, 10, & 15
Katherine Blanchard, Field Supervisor
Laura Crowley, Assistant Field Supervisor


Week 2:

After a week or so of excavation, we have had a variety of finds--painted coarseware, a fragment of a fibula, and a (modern) compressed root-some of which tell us a lot and some of which tell us not so much. Two of the most interesting were a tile which showed signs of extreme burning as well as a spindle whorl found today. While the spindle whorl is one small thing, combined with a trapezoidal loom weight last season, we might be able to start answering questions about activities on this side of the structure.
