Working the data.
Team
1
Lya, Kristine, Antonio & Colin
Today our group split up. Lya went to
the library to research. She got some photographs scanned in to use for
the marker. She also got a map of the mapping area. Kristine went back
along the shoreline to do some mapping and measuring. She also did some
pacing. Antonio did GPS until it broke. Colin did some mapping.
When we came back at around 1:00 we
went to the study and started wrapping up loose ends.
Team
3
Cassie, Achal, Eric
& Ahmed
Today our group was organizers. We had
to get up early today to maker sure that everyone was doing their work
and packing up all of their stuff that would be needed at Bell today. We
split our group into two smaller groups. Achal went to the library and
the rest of the group went back to Bell to help finish up. Cassie went
with Shane to collect GPS coordinates around Bell. The coordinates had
to be recorded so anyone could reference our maps and notes in the
future easily. Also, if we were to come back for further research we
would be able to quickly go back to our site ad begin working. Ahmed and
Eric went to finish mapping up the wall structure at the general store
with the rest of the students that came back to Bell. When we had
finished here we collected all of the flags from the site we went back
to the vans to eat lunch and then drove back to meet the students that
had gone to the library. We met up and drove back to the campsite. At
the campsite we compiled everything that we worked on at Bell for the
past three days. This included drawing a final map for the base site,
drawing hasher lines, incorporating all our collected data into our
slide show presentation, GPS coordinates of: artifacts baselines and
clearings, and creating our historic marker. At four thirty we all took
a break and went to the waterfall to swim. At six we drove back to the
campsite and had dinner.
Reviewing presentations.
After dinner we had about two hours to
work on our presentations and then at ten all of the groups got up to
present their presentation for the first time. This was to help us for
tomorrow because Anne gave comments and suggestions. This was very
helpful for everyone because we have never given a formal presentation
about an archeological project that we had done.
Team 4
Guadalupe, Sydney, Shane & Joseph
Today we
had an early start; Being K.P. and then leaving the camp site 30 minutes
early at 7:00 a.m. We went to Bell Village to finish mapping. Our group
split up. Joseph, Sydney and Guadalupe helped map. We finished mapping
where the general store was. Shane went to help another group take a GPS
reading of the different sites.
After we completed mapping the site we
had lunch. Two of our group members ate at the beach and the other two
ate at the van. When we finished eating we returned to the campsite and
put all our maps together. Guadalupe worked on tracing the final map and
our editing historical marker. Joseph used his drawing skills to draw
detailed pictures of the bigger items found at Bell Village. Shane
worked on making the map of Bell village and transferring it onto a
computer. Sydney worked hard on labeling all the pictures.
We then went swimming, and there was a
small waterfall. We enjoyed ourselves for about an hour and then
returned to the campsite to eat our dinner. After dinner we went back to
work. We completed our 3 paragraphs for our historical marker and ran
through our practice presentation. While making the paragraphs Anne told
us to “make it sexy!”
"Well, go back and measure it again."
