As our time remaining for Summer 2007 at Castalian Springs ticks away, the entire crew is working fast and furious -- but careful -- to complete the last excavations, complete our final records and documentation, and begin "closing down."
Among the more significant recent discoveries is the second large central post pit. As shown below partially excavated, there are several postholes and at least two insertion ramps visible.
Although the discovery of the remains of these architectural features is of greatest significance, the fill also contains a sample of interesting artifacts -- including this whole deer mandible (jaw bone).
We'll be cleaning up all of our excavations and will provide a "summary" of our accomplishments on Thursday and Friday.
