Dig Diary (10/12)

Today was our first day not digging. We started to turn our artifacts into data that we can use to find the hominid group that we dug up. The process is pretty simple. There isn’t really an order but we all work together to find which order works best. What my group did was first we took pictures of all our artifacts with the artifact number, class number, layer number, and quadrant number. We had 20 artifacts to get organized but it didn’t take too long. The next step was to make an information card for each artifact. It was the same process as taking the pictures except we had to write it on a piece of paper (like a museum). After making a card for each artifact we had to write the artifact number on the artifact it self (example below).
