Old Pueblo Dig!

We had such an amazing day at the Archaeology Center.  We excavated an ancient Pit House and Ramada.  Some of the artifacts we found were pottery shards, bones, pots, skulls, toys/sculptures, charcoal, etc.  When we were finished excavating we mapped the location of the artifacts in our sites.  We did this using string and then created a grid plot.  We were able to tell where they cooked, played, and even kept their storage based on the artifacts in the different sites.  We were FULL of dirt but it was FULL of fun!
