New Patterns Emerge

Tuesday June 7 2011

Today was a rather bright day as the team arrived at the excavation site, and work began on digging a few more layers. Sima was feeling unwell and took the day off, however we were joined by Babar after his absence the previous day. As morning faded into afternoon, however, the team began to think of the impossible: it was nearly too hot to dig in Finland. The bugs returned again in force as well, and most of the team left the site with more than a few new bug bites, Riku being the exception, as he seems to have an immunity built up from dealing with the various insects that infest the trench from time to time. After a few water breaks and taking down a few layers in all of the units, the team noticed some interesting wave patterns in the trench, a pattern that may be romising as further layers are uncovered in the coming days. Overall, it was a very productive day at the excavation site, and team is eager to see what new archaeological features may emerge.
