Day 2

Day 2

Here we go, it’s already the second day.

We were tired after yesterday’s night games but after a good night of rest we woke up full of energy.

After the breakfast, at about 8 am we went to the Can Sadurni cave and changed the areas of work. At 8:30 we started to prepare the equipment for excavations and each group went to their new zone. This day was much more fruitful, we found some pieces of pottery, bones and interesting red stones in front of the cave. One of the pottery pieces was dated for 18^th century. Most of the girls were looking for archaeological objects and boys were carrying out buckets full of heavy stones. After the 30 minutes of break the groups came back to their work and several Egyptians helped Manel to draw a map of the site by measuring the height and the position of the rocks.

Meanwhile at the lime oven the Greeks continued the work the Egyptians started. The majority of the work today was removing trees.  Approximately thirty-five small trees were removed with chain-saws and axes. The reason for removing the trees is to create an entrance to the exhibit of the lime oven for the archaeological park. Now people can easily reach the oven having to avoid trees and thorns.    

Finally at 1 o´clock, when we were done with our work, the majority of us went to the swimming pool to relax. The rest of us went to the school to take a nap.

“Today´s tasks were extremely fascinating. I didn´t expect to find something valuable and that actually happened. I´m so glad I have an opportunity to be here and enjoy this new archaeological experience.” Asia
