Day 9 (by Caroline)

Today we had some really exciting finds! But to start Sam and I began by finishing up Unit 3 for this semester.  We took it down to the base of the second plowzone and scraped and took a final picture of it. At this level we still found a few pieces of ceramic.

JJ and Ella continues their work in Unit 6 on Feature 11. They spent most of the day removing the matrix around the feature. While removing the matrix they did find a quartz projectile point and a biface in the edge of the feature.

In Unit 4 Ben scraped the unit for the picture and then began mapping Feature 12. 

After finishing up in Unit 3 I moved down to Unit 13 to help Robert with paperwork while DuVal continues to excavate the unit and the features in it. The base of a large projectile point was found in the unit and an entire projectile point was also found! The point was in perfect condition!  DuVal excavated the corner of Feature 4 that was exposed in Unit 13.
