June 15: All the Little Pieces

Today most of the crew was working from home as we are preparing for our final exam and writing our project reports. Lindsay and Alexis were in the lab working on artifact and level bag cataloging while Willow and Jasmin put more time into their soil analysis tests.

Jasmin and Willow are taking a very close look at some of the soil samples from the "rock feature" and "garden" excavation units from the McKenzie Creek site. They are looking for seeds or evidence that those areas were in fact used as gardens.

Alexis has managed to glue together the pieces of the SMP glass lantern that we had found this year. Her hard work allows us to see what the shape of lantern looked like before it was broken.

Lindsay is cleaning field equipment and some of the last few artifacts found this season.
