| Rake Triage |
Today, we were able to finish up the base map for the site and this summer's field project. Currently, we have two distinct loci of features with a total of at least six features. Several of the features seem to have grown as we went to town with more raking today.

| Feature 4 |
Thus far, very few artifacts have been noted on the surface of the site. This seems a bit unusual, but there also is a good amount of deposition at the site, despite it being between two bedrock outcrops. I'm hoping the deposition is covering a decent collection of artifacts. As I was telling the team today, though, negative evidence tells us something too, though most won't find that that rewarding when excavating.

| Rakers at Work |
As with yesterday, I continue to be impressed with the value of rakes in archaeology. Taking of the cover of leaf litter and exposing stone underneath really is analogous to troweling down in an excavation unit on features and artifacts.
