Excavation Begins!

Taking the bus to the site

Archaeologist Erin outlines the kiva structure

Lindsay (Ed) and Rachel begin work in their kiva

"I learned that while excavating you have to have a good sense of humor
or you will be driven insane by the bugs, heat, and staring at the same dirt."

Rachel snags some watermelon

Johanna and Ali survey their kiva unit

"I learned that digging in a unit involves a lot more than I expected:
the careful screening and digging around rocks.   It was also interesting to assess
the land of a site itself: like depressions in the land and possible kivas."
- Mariah
