today we finished up with photos, depth measurements and soil color and texture info for the paperwork for level 3 dirt. we began level 4 excavation. we plowed through quite a bit of it. by plow through i mean we went down about 3 or 4 cm. we found 3 squashed cans today, some porcelain, a lot of metal (from cans and nails and such), more string, more concrete. about 1:30 or 2 it began to rain. we have tent shades to block the sun from cooking us while we work, but today they were used to block the rain. it didn't rain long, less than 1/2 hour. we were given the option of packing up and working in the lab or staying outside to work. we chose to stay. i was very happy. i love rain. it even hailed! it was very exciting. that was pretty much all we did. i acidently lost some dirt i was supposed to screen. i was screening by myself and i couldn't get the screen up and some dirt fell out. oops. one of the sub-supervisors saw it and said no worries, so i didn't.

How is it the string wasn't rotted away? Maybe I''m forgetting how dry it is there.
Where did you lose the dirt? What do you mean?
Oh, this computer is working now.

it is VERY dry here. i lost the dirt while trying to screen by myself. i dropped the screen and some of the dirt fell out over the top instead of being sifted through, so i might have lost a few artifacts
