Day 2 of Digging at the Glunk Site

Today we were finally able to get back in the field and do some more digging. Unfortunately, the site was a bit muddy but the pits were dry. I was once again digging in EU17 although, Elizabeth was absent today as she was sick. My pit was down to the bottom of level 1 (10 inches) in all but the South East Quad. Because I was on my own and had to both dig and sift, I was only able to bring the South East Quad down to the bottom of level 1 today. This was also due to the nature of the soil as it was a sort of clay matrix. Once again, because it was only the first level, I found historic artifacts like pieces of brick, glass, nails, and rocks.
