2001 TRENCH PC 18 Kate Topper, Field Supervisor Week 3:   Kate Topper constructing a sifter for Trench PC 18. We have spent the past week excavating stratum 4, our largest stratum to date. The artifacts from this stratum, as from the first three strata, consist primarily of pottery and roof tile that have washed down from the top of the hill and that therefore lack a useful archaeological context. I expect that within the next few days, we will be able to begin excavating stratum 5, the stratum that produced several pieces of late Orientalizing and early Archaic pottery at the end of last season and the beginning of this one.
