Things are busy even during the offseason. Two of the biggest tasks? Pottery restoration and pottery drawing.
Tables filled with drawn and/or restored pottery
Today we started pulling out pottery that is back from drawing and restoration. During the season, staff members will check drawings against sherds (or whole vessels) to make sure the renderings are correct. Those pieces that haven't been photographed will be as they continue to move through the publication process.
At the end of the season, we'll send off more pottery and the process will start over again.
We continue to enjoy amazing weather. Today it's 80 degrees and sunny with a stiff breeze. If only we could bottle this weather and keep it for the entire season!
