The end of the dig and...disaster!

So the dig is over. Finito. The last several days in my trench were spent drawing the walls and the top plan, which were surprisingly fun activities, though after thinking back to my high school curriculum that consisted of a lot of mechanical drawing classes, I shouldn't have been TOO surprised at enjoying this process. Because of an arrangement with the British School (who provided our dig equipment), we had to be done with the tools by 3:00 on Friday. By the time we got to the backfilling process in my trench, it was 1:15. It was a sprint to move all that dirt back to where it came from, but we were able to successfully finish it and then I, in turn, had to sprint away from the site to meet Zack at the airport. Unfortunately, while I was running across the site, my camera dropped out of my bag, something I did not realize until the next day. Now I'm out a camera, which is not a huge loss because it was over five years old, but for the rest of my time here, there will be no more photo posts :-(
