Team: West-Buffalo/Camb 
Date: 7/1/2007 
Entry: Today was spent knocking out more of unit 14217. Nothing especially interesting to report, except that I made a mistake over an area of more compacted sediment - it appears, half-way through excavating this deposit that it is actually coherent mud-brick i... click here for more...
