On June 2, we were in the classroom on the MTSU campus from 8:00 am until noon for an orientation presentation. We arrived on the site to start the project at 1:00 pm. The first goal was to establish a "site grid" -- the basic north/south system used to establish all excavation units and mapping for the project.
Unfortunately, the rain arrived earlier than predicted -- it started drizzling by 1:45 and kept up until we were forced to terminate our field operations around 3:00 pm.
We were able to etablish the beginnings of the grid system for recording before quitting early for the day. Grid points will be marked at 2-meter intervals across the entire area we will be investigating. Reference points are marked with yellow pin flags.
