Week four has seen some frustrating days up at the North East Temple.\u00a0 As our time here draws to a close and our trench grows ever deeper, we are looking for bedrock.\u00a0 We are hoping to find the bedrock; however the soil at the Temple is very hard and compact.\u00a0 It is a mixture of very fine grained clay and silt mixed together with cobbles and pieces of bedrock.\u00a0 These pieces sometimes make us think that we have hit bedrock, only to realize that we have not.\u00a0 This process has been a little frustrating, but we continue on knowing that bedrock is close and the closing of our trench is hopefully within sight.<\/p>\n
This week hasn\u2019t entirely been a quest for bedrock, we have found some interesting things.\u00a0 Along with lots of pottery sherds, we have found nails and other awesome artifacts.\u00a0 We are hoping that we will be able to estimate a time for when our little room was constructed and how it relates to the temple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
