Busy day in the pottery compound. This is where the dig day begins and ends, we eat breakfast and lunch, we store tools and supplies, and where we process artifacts.

The compound is also the base of operations for the GIS team which is responsible for recording and analyzing spatial data. Their work requires significant computing power and today team members began setting up the machines.

Elsewhere on site, shade cloths are going up over all the excavation areas in preparation for the season.

The first day of excavation is just a week away!
