Meanwhile, outside of the pottery compound, Gimi and his crew continued to prepare for the start of the season. The shade cloth is up in the breakfast area -- it's a great location full of grass and shade and even some good scenery.

Tomorrow staff will be working on everything from opening Grid 32 and further preparing Grid 16 for excavation, to, you guessed it, processing pottery and more. With more staff arriving today and tomorrow, the preseason is in full swing.
