Chan Cahal
The site I worked
at is called Chan Cahal (little houses)
Chan Cahal is
located in a cow pasture a few miles from headquarters.
We would get
to the site about 8:00, unload the truck, receive instructions,
C
then dig.
This circular
area with flagstones was found the previous session;
it's on the
west side of the structure.
This is the
south side on the last couple days of our session.
Here is Antoine,
the site director, giving us instructions, probably
using some of
his technical terms.
He, Olivia and
Dane took great care of us--
making sure
we had plenty of drink breaks and dance breaks.
Putting up the
shade was a daily thing. It also kept
the rain off
us and the excavation.
Rebecca and
Antoine sifting through the dirt.
(nice buns Antoine)
Just to the south
of our structure, Dane was trying to locate
the retaining
wall of the platform that the houses were
built on.
Here Forest is just beginning on the platform excavation site.
