Entry: These last few days our pod has finally started to make visual changes to space 17/18/39/40. Josh from the human remains team has spent almost all his time with us, helping us to lift and document the last two skeletons, U20434 and U20419, in the grave cl... click here for more...

Date: 7/29/2012 
Entry: Life goes on and U20481 disappears in space 17/18. It is not all easy, as these two spaces have been open and run over by wheel barrows for a long time. The walls are fragile, U20481, the infill, is compact and full of well preserved bricks and the differ... click here for more...

Date: 7/9/2013 
Entry: Today we had a really interesting day in the B.102. Well, obviously, every day is interesting in our house, but today we finally can start to see same floor in both spaces, and just not bits and pieces (as it has been in S18). Having said that, it also me... click here for more...

Date: 7/15/2013 
Entry: Okay, so building 102 has been further investigated these days since my last entry. If something, it has become very difficult to handle but challenging and rewarding as well. Right now in space 17 we are dealing (amongst other things of course, this is a... click here for more...

Date: 5/31/2016 
Entry: What the heck is going on in Building 102? This entry is based on the heavy residue backlog from 2013 that I have been processing over the last several weeks (better late than never right?) Everybody has heard me going on and on about prismatic blad... click here for more...
