Rain Day/ Day 8 of Glunk Dig

This morning was very rainy so we once again tried flint knapping, this time with proper tools provided by Dr. Knauth. We had a bit more success today, but the material we were working with, local chert, was not very good for what we were doing. After lunch we headed out to the site to try and get more digging done as this is our last week at the site.

The site was once more a bit muddy, but the pits were nice and dry. In EU 17, we continued excavating out to level 4 in the North West Quad. This was unfortunately all we managed to do today, but it was only half a day of digging.
