Measuring and Mapping

On a very cold day we were measuring and mapping features in 10 x 10 meter blocks. Features as previously noted are stains in the soil. From them we can learn about ancient civilizations.

We found a nice bifacial piece. Bifacial meaning having two sides. In Archaeology a bifacial is important as it is a piece that has been worked. We find a lot of flakes. Which are small pieces knocked off a core piece in the process of making a tool or weapon. A bifacial piece means it was intended to be something and was being worked (created).
