This week we started excavations in the field. We are about 80 cm into our unit. We are working with Dr. Walen and we haven't found much if anything yet. Most of what is in our unit is just sand. Unit 3, which is right next to our unit, they found two perfectly intact pots with a whole perfectly preserved gourd underneath it. That was extremely exciting because we had to remove the pots from the wall before the wall collapsed because the sand does not hold it's shape. I do enjoy excavating but I do not really like pulling buckets which is the consensus for most of the group. The dinners at El Huarango is very good. This week we had a dish called milanesa which is fried chicken breast with rice and avocado which most of us really enjoyed and I don't really care for meat. This week we should be switching and working with the graves which will be more exciting. The internet is hard to come by but I will post pictures of excavations when I get a chance.
