Lots of Teeth and a Trip to the Lighthouse

Tuesday we resumed the schedule as usual and so in the morning we focused on human anatomy.  We practiced identifying bones and then learned how to clean bones.  After lunch we have a break during the hottest part of the day and so I used the time to hike the 30 minutes to a nearby lighthouse.  The views were unbelievable.

View from the lighthouse looking back at the museum where we are based.  If you look closely you can see the excavation site on the right of the water:

After the break we were back to digging.  It was a great day.  The people digging in the city found four bronze coins.  In the necropolis we found a whole mess of bones.  I personally found some large fragments of skull, four teeth, and a the end of a femur.  We also found a small bronze bead in our tomb.


One of the teeth I found.  It is in excellent condition:

The tomb I am excavating:

This is the section I have been working on specifically.  There are skull fragments in the upper left corner.  It is difficult to see, but there are bone fragments scattered everywhere:

Hope all is well,
