Picture 3: Erin with artifacts from her unit
Picture 1: Foundation (Pictured to the rear and right) and Wall in Foundation (Pictured to the left)
Week four has been hot and sunny... and the Baltimore team is in the field. Emily and Bev are plugging away on the southern side of our mystery structure [Picture 1] and Dan is making progress along the northern edge. On the other end of the site, Erin and I are working in two 1 x 1 meter squares near what used to be a retaining wall on the lot. We have been out in the sun for the last few days but Dr. Brighton [our hero] picked up a tent to shade our fair skin and keep productivity high! So far we are finding a lot of broken ceramics, fragments of glass bottles and nails [Picture 3]. I found a military button that dates back as early as 1902 [Picture 2]. Erin and I are just about into the subsoil [a deep orange clay] in our 1 x 1's which means the bottom of our excavation units. Who knows where we go from there...

Tomorrow the College Park team rejoins us in the field to dig away!!
