It took me three days, but I finished my first profile drawing! I know the paper looks really dirty- but it’s vellum paper, so it can be washed with a rag without smearing the pencil. I’m quite proud of it.
Nadine and Greg have decided to give me the area as my own to dig and supervise. My first task (today) will be to describe and interpret the layers I drew. I will also draw a top plan of the upper level silo by using the points Susan and I took today with the total station.
We use the total station to take the x-y location of the four corners of each brick, and use that to make a plan. It should be interesting to see if I can even do it- I wasn’t sure I was taking the points right. Nadine also had to come take some for me, because they were on the edge of the tell
and I was rather nervous about anging over it to take the points of the edge of the wall. Nadine says it’s better that she fall off the edge of the tell than one of the students. Not many dig directors are that awesome- most would rather a student get hurt than themselves.
