Picture 3, we still have lots of artifacts to catalog

Today was the Baltimore teams first day back in the lab, for which we were very grateful as it was extremely hot and sunny outside. Emily and I managed to get two whole lots cataloged, Lots 48 and 49 from Excavation Unit 17, Contexts 1 and 7 from last year’s Texas field school. Lot 48, among other things, had a large amount of glass of various colors as well as some interesting ceramic pieces. One of the more interesting artifacts was a porcelain lid to part of a child’s tea set. On the other side of the lab, Kristen and Dan were quickly catching up to us with the labeling and managed to label the artifacts through to Lot 45. If they catch up to us tomorrow they’ll be joining us cataloging.
