Big Bluff Site (13SR999) 

     This was a mock exercise for my Archeology 308 Class in the fall of 2006. We had a blast working on the site. We kept notes on our daily efforts over the two days we were working on the site. We had all kept a journal which was a three ring binder that we put all of the information and plot maps for the dig. We did this dig over the weekend of the September 30th and the 31st. If you would like to see my notes Day 1 and Day 2 . 

 

These photo's are from the first day of the dig
