While these posts are WAY WAY WAY overdo, I though you guys might like to see the field where I dug at Kalkreise.
The German public checking out our dig site. I got a cushiony job for the day. Drawing.
This is how my first days at the dig started....YA sieving through tons and tons of SAND! Only finding porcelain sherds... This must have been the first day because I'm still happy sieving....
One of the warm days! We found what Axel described as possibly "grandma's ashes." Hence the need for about 6 soil samples from a square foot area and find massive pottery sherds.
I'm doing what I told my mommy I would grow up to be...an ARTIST! Who knew I meant drawing sand.......
The sexy artist....one of the last days and it was WARM! YAY!
Here is Simon marking a spot on the chart. GPS does wondrous things.
One of our biggest sherds and one of the biggest area of events to mark!
This is how we chill out in the farmers field. From left to right Arne, Simon, and myself.
So the dig was DEFINITELY not what I expected, but I learned so much. For certain days it is hard not to get jaded at digging in the sand for 8 hours a day, but finding coins, pottery sherds, small bones, and "grandma's ashes" make it worth it.
