today we finished paperwork for level 2 and began excavation of level 3. we found the usual glass, brick, wood, nails, other metal etc. but here's the cool thing we found today. we found sleigh bells! they were with a leather strap which is having a hard time staying together. the bells are green from being in the dirt all these years. the stable was there about 1920. we just keep finding more and more bells. some fell out loose so we wrapped them up in tissue paper and put them in a ziplock bag. and guess what else?! one of the bells still jingles!! i was stoked. this is the most exciting thing i've found this summer. never mind the fact i'm looking for the older barber shop and not the stable.
after lunch i had to do lab work. sorting and labeling artifacts. it's part of the education. it was tedious work. i much prefer digging in the dirt. i really wanted to get all the bells out but i was in the boring lab. feh. at least i got to excavate for the last half hour.

Most interesting jobs have some not interesting tasks. The great thing is getting to do work that has tasks you enjoy! Yes, I think the sleigh bells find is interesting.
