SS digging on site. |
When digging they were told to take small thin layers at a time. This was so they could tell what layer things came from. Also by digging small layers at a time if something clearly unusual pops up then we would see it. Like this red rubbery/plastic thing that we dug out.

The above are up-close pictures of that mysterious red thing we found. If you, dear reader, have any idea what it could be PLEASE let me know. Sometimes archaeologists find things they aren't exactly sure what it is, and it is the case with this red thing. So if you know please share! This could really help them date other artifacts that were found on the same level, such as a nails and Lincoln log. Lincoln logs go back to the 1916 closer to the time period they were hoping to find. So you never know....
When cleaning artifacts we found coal and bullet shell.

Side Notes: Yes I know WP (Web-princess)'s hair is SHORT! She had me cut it like that over the summer. It's longer now then it was, but still very short! Also please, if you have facebook, share I-HOPE's fan page with everyone. I'm trying to reach as many homeschoolers I can, especially local homeschoolers! I realize you may not be a local homeschooler, but given how paths can cross, because of social networks, you may know someone locally to me via the internet or your friends may know someone locally to me.
The co-op is new I started it last summer and I'm trying to grow it! Thanks a million for sharing the facebook fan page. Also all of the pictures belong to I-HOPE and were used with permission.
