Last week of excavation Finished

Greetings

The last days of excavation is over. The next few days will be spent making sure that all final photographs and drawing is finished. Also any last minute details and some back filling of squares. Then it will be time to pack up all of the equipment.

Here are some of the photos of the work the past few days.

Here Don Garner and Josh Carter working in Field D.

This is Tim Snow taking an overview photography of Field D. You can see many Iron Age walls and the squares are lined with sandbags to help preserve the balks.

Gerald Keown is working on his tannur (a large oven) while Any Stickler (right) looks on.

Another angle of Field D in the northwest corner of the fortress.

Don Garner found a knife in his square E 4. Here John Mark Wade uses his small tools to excavate the knife.

Here is a close up of the work to excavate the knife. 

Another metal object was too. Here the "fork" is being photographed in situ (in its original location.)

Here is photograph of one of the small ovens (tabuns).

 Here is an overview of Gerald Keown's square with a nice cobbled floor and a large tannur.

Here we see Dr. Don Garner and his student Josh Carter both of Carson Newman College.

Look for more posts to come!.
