Dig Diary:

Today was the first day of recording our artifacts after the dig. We have three tasks having to do with the process in which we record our artifacts. First, we have to photograph each item under bright lights and put a ruler against it so its length can be identified at a glance. Then, we must make a card for each item displaying information such as its label and our theories on what it was used for. Next, we need to physically label the artifacts with a pen including information about where it was found. Lastly, we have to draw our quadrant’s findings on a large map of all the quadrants. There are four pages we need to draw and label the artifacts on, one for each layer of the site. Today, our group “The Dirt” completed all the tasks except the photography and drawing of our artifacts. Soon we will be putting Period 1’s artifacts on a science-board type display. We need to come up with an idea on how to display our artifacts on Monday…
