We had a pretty exciting Thursday at the site. In the morning, I did some more scanning and artifact rehousing with Katie. Then, Jon decided that someone needed to do some investigation as to why the stairs at our dig house seem to be the place where roly-polys go to die. Tired of seeing so many poor insects suffer for seemingly no reason, we decided to try and right this wrong. Tyler constructed a ramp for the rolys using electrical tape. Will report back with our findings at a later time.

Later in the day, we got to learn how to draw pottery, which is less artistic and more scientific than I thought. It's a little bit tricky, but a very interesting process. I even got to play with calipers, making all the engineers in my life proud.

In the evening, I did some catching up on the blog and enjoyed a delicious dinner. Tyler made us all oven fried chicken with cornflakes and Jon contributed some excellent cheesy pasta and veggies. Anastasia was pretty shocked that we crazy Americans were putting cereal on our chicken, but she must have liked it since she asked for the recipe later in the night...
