UP Team washes pottery findings
Here’s the archaeological reality: when you find pottery fragments, then you must wash pottery fragments! UP Pollèntia Team members take turns with scrub brush and water–a good opportunity, too, to discard the rocks we picked up in our enthusiasm during the prospection walk through of Ca’n Fanals. So far as of 10:30 AM on July 17, we’ve washed 13 bags of findings with 20 to go. Hey, we are feeling some pressure here, down to the last two work days and hoping to avoid washing on Saturday!
UPDATE: Friday, July 18th, we are done! All our pottery is washed, dried, and either packed away or waiting to be packed. Yay.
