Barcelona

Yesterday we went to Barcelona. We visited the Archaeological Museum of Catalunya and then we saw some of the best places in the city.


And at night we went to a concert in Begues.
A full day!

Our daily routine


We’re living in the Escola Sant Cristòfol, Begues Primary School. Therefore, we’ve been sleeping in the gym, using the lock room showers and all the other facilities provided by the school.
Now, let me introduce you to our schedule:
Our day starts at 7:00 AM but you know what they say: the early bird catches the worm so…  
After enjoying our breakfast we split up in groups and go to do our work in the cave of Can Sadurní. Our organization is simple as there are only four groups: Mayas, Romans, Egyptians and Samurais, each of them with daily duties.
And in order to accomplish our goal, each group has a delimited working area: inside the cave, the stairs at cave entrance and the roof and the dry stone wall. Once we’ve finished our work we’re free to hang out or visit the swimming pool until lunchtime arrives. 

After lunch, our full bellies need a well-deserved rest so that’s exactly what we do. We use our time to relax, get to know each other or take a nap.
But our day isn’t over yet, we still have time to deal with the lab work: sieve with water, clean the archaeological materials, and that is what we do in the afternoon.   

Well, probably you were wondering if all in our daily routine is work. Easy answer: NOOO!!!! We reserve time after dinner to engage ourselves in different activities or hit the pub. 
And that’s pretty much our day!

Dry stone buildings

Dry stone buildings are part of the agricultural landscape of Catalonia. The CEB (Centre d'estudis Beguetans) is an entity of the town of Begues that works to study and preserve the cultural heritage of the area. They have a project for the preservation of dry stone buildings.
Víctor Mata, member of CEB, has shown us some techniques of construction and we have helped arrange the vineyard shack "L'avi de Mas Roig".

Archeology in Begues


Today our group (Mayas) had the task of repairing a dry stone wall just outside of the Can Sadurní cave. There is a group inside the cave (Romans) doing excavation and the other two groups  (Egyptians and Samurai) were taking apart a dry stone wall to excavate underneath the wall and with the stones they moved they brought them to the Maya group to repair the wall that we had the task of doing.




Here we are siving through the debris from inside the cave. We done this to extract the bone and other material that is found in the cave, such as bone ( animal and human) pottery, flints that are used to start fire.
