Student Reflections:
-Vanessa
"What was hard about the excavation was that when you see an artifact you couldn't just pull it out with your hands. You have to leave it where it is to measure and map it."
-Jose
"My group found a lot of broken plates, and a piece of a bowl. Also we found a bean, and other seeds. I think our site was a kitchen because these are artifacts you would find in a kitchen."
-Diamond
"I learned that you set up a dig facing North, but the coolest thing I learned was when we experienced what it's like to be an archaeologist. I want to learn more about history and science after this investigation."
-Sidhartha
"I learned that archaeologists use brushes to look for things. I think that's really clever because that way if it is broken or poisonous they can clean it with the brush with out damaging anything. My favorite part of the presentation was when we used the brushes and switched roles to draw and describe the things we found because I felt like an archaeologist like Flavio and Peter."
-Ana
"I found broken pieces of pottery and an object that looked like a mushroom with a seed on it. It felt like a softened rock."
