Today's Accomplishments: Continued to close down the project. Work included covering the excavation areas with plastic and sandbags, and cleaning the site area. After today (when computers are broken down) daily web postings will cease, although research findings will be posted on this site intermittently in the future. Another day or two of cleanup and travel remains at this point.
