I’m Qi Liu, the summer intern for the Heritage West project. Over the past month, I combed through the object data recorded during the 2024 Spring lab season and used it to construct an Excel database for the project. So, seven months after the 2023 Fall field season ended, we finally have a bird’s-eye view of what we dug up! Of course, more in-depth analyses of this archaeological data are on their way, but we’re eager to share the preliminary results with everyone who’s been interested in and supportive of the project. In this blog post, we hope to show some general statistics of the excavation, put into perspective what archaeological work is like, and—most importantly—share our feelings of satisfaction and pride over the excellent work done in the past year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/e3407c57-0b78-46f8-9297-aea4ad8f5f23/Slide5.jpeg Project Blog - The CEC Site, by the numbers… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/bf6fcdb8-555e-47e6-bdca-ad1ae7174e73/Slide3.jpeg Project Blog - The CEC Site, by the numbers… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.heritagewestphl.org/news/spring-lab-work monthly 0.5 2024-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/abe0fca7-7877-4385-8721-6aa7e610d328/1D09A89B-F17C-4C4B-973C-DAB044F46C3D.JPG Project Blog - Spring Lab Work Marty Ferris Jantra Morris Miranda Mathias Frances Conwell Robin James Bryan Harris Malaika Mumeka Merryl and Ezra Gladstone Shaylee Kish https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/1714845109028-TPYCHMKTNPR7AR6LWOA3/Sort+1.JPG Project Blog - Spring Lab Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/1714845108719-R9EDJR1OLU2MJ1WI2Z16/Sort+2.JPG Project Blog - Spring Lab Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/1714845111228-WCCYBHNIT0S9MVFG0REZ/Sort+3.JPG Project Blog - Spring Lab Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/1714845111357-HPN0Z5N4QKLSQGIOBV72/Sort+4.jpg Project Blog - Spring Lab Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/1714845114515-V1NO3M8GSF8BCUY5G7WM/Sort+5.jpeg Project Blog - Spring Lab Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/1714845114256-BJXQMYSHWQSO1OGE8P61/Sort+6.JPG Project Blog - Spring Lab Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/1714845116647-C4V7F4YBVBLIVTR8YNSQ/Sort+8.JPG Project Blog - Spring Lab Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/1714845369452-4IBE1YL6JTZR2W9HE6T5/Sort+7.JPG Project Blog - Spring Lab Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/1714845119220-1IY8EZAXHEFMFNALWYWV/Sort+9.JPG Project Blog - Spring Lab Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/1714845121255-9W8N0JTX5P8JDN8ZVF0D/Sort+10.JPG Project Blog - Spring Lab Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61167e4fd269f47ac0874fd0/0e7bf5da-4215-4a2f-82a2-d263868ae3cb/82587FA8-C479-4750-AC4F-8F20C2598C32.JPG Project Blog - Spring Lab Work - Erik Weaver Darnell Holmes Marina Fonseca Frani Rehbun Louisa Pollack Pruitt Nandini Subramaniam (and her mom!)
