First day on site

Yesterday I made it to Mechelen and learnt the buses of Belgium! I walked around the the town and found out where the site was and then found a doughnut shop!!!! Then I got the buses back and had an early night!

Today, my first proper day on site and it was interesting, different to archaeology back home! I found a skeleton that I can excavate and it looked simple enough until I was finding the legs. There were loose bones over the top of where I was tracking the legs so I had to excavate them first. Simple... wrong! There bones then covering them and so on. Now I am left with lots bones every where and they are mainly leg bones! I am still uncovering them and then see what will happen next. Hopefully I will get most of it done tomorrow!

Off for an early night as I am up at 6 and out the door at 6:45 to be on site around 8! The joys of being an archaeologist in training!!!
