Hi Oxbow Archaeologists,

We made it out to the site last Saturday and excavated in the morning. Marianne, Kevin, Nik and I were there. We continued to excavate the 30-35 cm level on the west side of the block and were finding the usual flakes and bone fragments and an occasional pottery sherd. A thunderstorm passed through about 1 P.M., so I went back to the RB and finished processing the backlog of flotation samples! This weekend we’ll probably catch up washing the 1/8” screen bags.

This week we’ll have a little different schedule. Saturday is CNC’s 40th birthday celebration, so we will have an exhibit down by the homestead (2:30/3:00 till about 4:30/5:00). We won’t dig this week but will work at the RB starting at 9:00 A.M., probably washing 1/8” screen bags. On Wednesday we’ll probably excavate at the site, but I’ll send another email early next week to confirm that.

Scott
