Nov 19th- A few of my favorite things...
~Starting a dig and the exciting finding an old shell...
~Some old nails and plaster...
~And a small but pretty piece of pottery...Good Eyes Gwyn!

We've been digging at the site of a house that used to sit on our property

that sits on the old towpath on the Old Erie Canal.

The girls have been digging near the old chimney remains.

Overheard outside by one young archaeologist, "Trench number one has been shut down. We are opening trench number two." Yep they've been watching Time Team (and like any good Time Team in the UK...it's about to rain wink emoticon smile emoticon )
