Jenna exposing the inner northern wall, and a possible second entrance, of Structure Twenty-Seven.
Elena at the other side of the suspected secondary entrance to Structure Twenty-Seven.
Robert excavating a pit in the western extension of Trench T.
Allison, Mary and Kiana in Trench T. Allison by entrance to Structure Twenty-Seven, the others exposing a rubble layer in the midden.

In the Finds Hut this afternoon...
Andy and Declan removing rubble from the 'central midden area'
Worked stone tool from Structure Eight.
Harry excavating in one of the Trench T extensions.
And where would we be without Sierra. Ever-patient and the lynchpin of the excavations. Tirelessly zapping in finds, teaching students...and shouting "okay". The Total Station angel...
So that's how high it goes! The levels staff in action in Trench J.
