Who doesn't love digging a sewer?

Who doesn't love digging a sewer?

It's Thursday!

Tracy Hoffman June 19, 2014

Grid 16 doesn't just have a sewer, they have a sewer that is forcing us to rethink some of our theories.  Oddly enough it flows roughly northwest down to the southeast -- in other words, away from the sea.  More importantly, it is forcing us to reassess some of our theories about what we believed to be a Crusader cut through bedrock on the North Tell to create a moat for a 13th century fortress.  Questions, questions, and more questions.  It's a good thing we have four more weeks to find some answers.
