Found - Measured & Photographed

Finding an object on a dig is only the first step. Before it can be removed its location must be charted, it must be measured and photographed. We photographed with both 35 mm and digital cameras. These bone of a six month old girl had just been exposed that morning. It took two weeks to gently remove all her bones.


Notice the centimeter stick and the information board that gives location on the dig site, the date and the indication of where North is. All of this is vital to the dig records and for future scholars.


I love this stuff.
