2001 TRENCH PC 18 Kate Topper, Field Supervisor Week 5: Kate Topper explains PC 18 during trench tours. We began the week well into the our last pass through stratum four and were ready to beginning excavating stratum five by Tuesday morning. Our first ten-centimeter pass through stratum five, as expected, has yielded more significant pottery than comparable passes through previous strata, but on the whole it has created more questions than it has answered. Specifically, we have found two piles of stones near the northwest corner of the trench; the larger of these piles seems as if it may run along the same line as our hole in Locus 2 and the line of stones running through the corner of Locus 1, but we cannot be certain until we have further defined the stones in Locus 1 and determined whether or not and in what direction they continue. Our second pass through stratum five, which we began this afternoon, should answer a number of questions about the trench, and I expect to have more to report next week.   View of Trench PC 18 from the east with large worked rocks in back left.   View of Trench PC 18 from the west.   Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 - Final Report   Director, Gregory Warden gwarden@mail.smu.edu Director, Michael Thomas michael.thomas@tufts.edu While the team is in Italy during the summer field season, send e-mail to: mvap3@dada.it To email an individual on the team, enter the person's last name in the subject heading.
