Today is out last day out in the field. We are working at the site til about noon. Sam finished taking down our wall in the SE quad. Once that was complete we helped Chris and Elizabeth in their pit by transporting their buckets to Dru and Sammy to screen. After they finished up Sammy and I got down into the pits and began taking the southern corner balks down in our pits. Then we went back to Lyco. Once we got back to the AC we began washing artifacts. We sorted them out by excavation units so that each group can wash their own artifacts, so we could see what actually came out of our pits. Once I washed bags of ours I found that we actually had a good bit of Indian pottery. Our pit was a historic site in which we believe was a barrow pit. I thought it was very beneficial for us to see exactly what we found in our own pits.
