Grid 16 in the early morning

Grid 16 in the early morning

Sunday of Week Three

Tracy Hoffman June 22, 2014

Grid 16 keeps getting deeper and deeper.  In the process, they are finding some interesting objects.  The ceramics are quite varied and notable pieces have included a glazed oil lamp, a Roman bowl stamped with the image of an urn shaped vessel and a porcelain bowl (imported from China in the Islamic period).  The faunal material is equally intriguing and includes equid remains.

Grid 51 had a productive day today removing floors as they continue to prepare for the removal of the remaining insula walls.  They had a number of interesting discoveries today including part of a calf's head, an Eye of Horus, a sunken store jar (painted), and much, much more.

Tomorrow I'll check on the Snake Tower and see what's happening there.
