After missing several excavations and field projects this year, I received this Star Wars “Xcavations” Creature Crate. ..
The trench is defined by walls measuring 5.5 x 5 cm2. Topsoil is a fine sand, 4/4 reddish brown. I will be completing 2 cm passes with a toothpick trowel.
Level 1 - first 2cm pass. No change in soil - sample removed to egg poacher zambili and separated for flotation. No visible artifacts. Arbitrary level 2 opened to separate levels.
Dry sifting of level 1 reveals no additional finds. No organic remains found in flotation, though there is unforeseen separation and globing of soil. Sample reserved for additional testing.
Fist pass in level 2 reveals top of unidentified white material. Believed to be bone.
Continuing to clear level 2. Switched to brush technique to preserve delicate materials.
Third pass in level 2. Second section of assumed bone material uncovered in NW quadrant of trench. Unclear if this piece is related to previously uncovered fragment.
In fourth pass, more of organic remains uncovered. I now suspect that the original artifact is the top of mammal skull, while second section is a mandible. This remains to be confirmed. Surprised to find that there is still no change in soil.
First object now cleared. Ready to be removed. Bedrock appearing in south and north of trench.
After removal of object, a third fragment seems to be visible below first. Second object ready to be removed.
Presence of third fragment confirmed, directly above bedrock. Appears to be part of a jaw. Likely connected to previous finds.
Third object removed. Trench cleared to bedrock. 2 arbitrary levels identified. No change in soil throughout.
Find 1
Find 2
Find 3
Final reconstruction based on bioarchaeological reference material suggests that all 3 finds are part of a single Rodian skull. A very significant find for the field.
(Bioarchaeological reference material...)
Trench has been backfilled. Plans for onsite museum in the works.
Hahaha my curator husband made me a display case for my museum
