Presentation on theme: "After the site grid was completed, the crew removed rocks and topsoil."— Presentation transcript:

1 After the site grid was completed, the crew removed rocks and topsoil

2 Excavation of this trench revealed the walls of ancient buildings

3 Topsoil was removed from the adjacent area and digging began again

4 Digging in a third trench uncovered more stone structures and artifacts

5 Features were photographed with rulers and directional (North) markers

6 This digger uncovered a clay pot just below the surface

7 The pot was photographed with a reference ruler where it was found

8 To avoid damaging the pot, the digger switched to smaller tools

9 Soil was carefully removed so that the pot could be extracted and labeled

10 Everyone had a tape measure and notebook for recording location of finds

11 Some workers were assigned to labeling and collecting finds in plastic bags

12 As excavation progressed, teams were assigned to different trenches

13 After considerable work, the excavation revealed more structures

14 This trench uncovered Roman walls and a cobbled path, probably Ottoman

15 Excavation of this workshop revealed an ancient kiln (see marker stick)

16 A clay water channel (drainage system?) was found in another workshop

17 A circular artifact was found in the floor of a building at the Minoan level

18 It looked like a storage vessel (which were commonly set into floors)
