more digging

another day of digging, nothing new to report. the gold earing is sadly still without its mate. today we did find some more of the big wall, more pottery sherds, a fish vertebrae, a "hammer" stone, and a flint used to cut grass.

for other perspectives on the dig so far, visit the offical tell es-safi/gath weblog, and especially note the entry from from july 14th:

In Area P, Rona and her team discovered a gold earing from a LB/Iron I level! That brought about some excitement!
