I never imagined I would be able to identify bones from pottery from anodized clay from all of the dirt and rocks.<br \/>\nArchaeological work has been fascinating to me because of its ability to support or alter a theory about what happened at Antiochia in the past. My group loves to theorize about what could have happened in our unit, coming up with theories such as a grave and a \u201cdrinking countertop,\u201d as we continue to excavate. The current theory for our part of the site is that a fire occurred, and we have found evidence of that due to the charcoal, mortar, and anodized clay that we have uncovered in our unit. I look forward to seeing what this week of excavation uncovers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After fashionably arriving one week late, I have learned a lot after my first week here in Turkey.\u00a0Regarding archaeology, I first and foremost learned that I missed the most enjoyable part of preparing for excavation\u2014clearing rocks, weeds, roots, and whatever else the landscape may bring!
