Ramat Rahel Dig day 2

I overslept so the day started of badly -- no coffee and running late. I was given a site of C1 not much bigger than a grave. I evened out all the sides, finding a lot of pottery shards along the way, including a fragment of a Byzantine pot. Narit, our supervisor, told me that it was out of context there and said I could keep it. So I have a unique souvenier. Then I pick-axed a soft (with a macouch) rock made of dirt and chalk. So it was a full day from 6 AM to 1 PM.

At three 20 of us from the dig went to Jerusalem which I will write about another time. It was fabulous, of course, and we had a terrrific guide. I did manage to fall while tucking a prayer at the Western Wall. More later -- its late and I do not want to oversleep again tomorrow!
