Turned out to be a really
good day so everbody took advantage of the
weather and got on with planning
Marcus set out to plan his posthole he'ed remembered his 6H pencil, the scale rule, tape measure, line level, string, graph paper,sharpner and drawing board - now if he could just remember where the hole was |
Janet and Stuart had been having a few problems recording their section - in dry weather all the layers can end up looking the same |
So Matt demonstrated a usefull technique - a plant spray to damp down the section and enhance the different layers |
end result -looks good -hopefully when I can put the plan through the flat bed scanner I can publish a more detailed account of this feature |
Others carried on with their plans |
Some even took a very laid back approach to recorded - Ange claims its the way its done in proffesional units - we may have to make enquiries |
Ruth failed to prove she was the shortest person on site |
more planning |
Just to show we did get some planning done
There is a theory going around among the diggers that supervisors are rather like buses - they all turn up at once - here Nicky and Charlotte get advice from Chris and Erica |
Archaeologists need to be organised here's Johns reminder that he will be back to finish this posthole on Sunday |
about lunch time we had a visit from representatives of one of the digs sponsors Historic Scotland |
Left to Right ; Julian Thomas, Gordon Barclay and Deirdre Cameron |

to
be going tomorrow and Austin
wishing he was going with
them.
