2015 Field Season Day 22

Tracy Hoffman June 28, 2015

It was another morning of crazy weather in Ashkelon. This time, it did rain for a minute or two. Eventually the cool, windy morning gave way to sunshine and things got back to normal. Through it all, work continued.

Tomorrow, Grid 16 will expand once again as the team tries to establish the full dimensions of the mudbrick wall they have exposed. And later in the week, we will dig a new test trench as we seek to better understand the Roman, Byzantine and Islamic periods here at Ashkelon.
