Today's Goals: Continue work on the north step trench and in the trench across the top of Mound A. Wrap up excavations along the north side of the mound (to concentrate all efforts on the step trench), and continue processing flotation samples at the on-site lab.

Erin Westfall is leaving today to prepare for a new job working at Ft. Stewart, near Savannah, GA.

Feature on top of Mound A. Interesting feature on top of Mound A near the middle of the trench.
Cleaning, mapping, and photographing excavations to the west of Mound A. Part of the job today was cleaning, mapping, and photographing the excavations to the west of Mound A where we found Roberts' 1933-34 trenches. Here you can clearly see where the trench (light) and the Apron fill (dark) meet.
Backfilling a unit. Drew Wilburn prepares to backfill the excavation units he and Emily Yates have just photographed.
