june 5th

worked on the pot a little more today, its about 50 pieces of various pots placed on top of the rubble of the collapsed roof. we found two animal bones in there too today. the theory is that is a postclassic (classic and late classic being the peaks of the mayan civilizations) revisitation to a lineage household (ancestor) where they left a bunch of broken pots and other goods and then burnt it all up with copal incense which you can see on the burnt plaster of the floors. a pit over from me, a girl found a whistle shaped like a bird head. its very cool to think that no one had blown it for 1000 years until today. so far our site is the most interesting in finds, and im in love with it. the two week stay people leave tomorrow, which im sad about because our team, mostly made of them, will be all new people come monday. i liked our team alot. rainy season also hit last night. it was the strongest storm i have ever seen. we watched the lightning far away until we went to bed and then it finally hit about 2 am. tin roofs did not help. it stormed and lighteninged about an hour and a half, and then when we woke in the morning, the termites had all started swarming. were talking hundreds around your head. so, excavating was a little annoying. well see how i handle this rain thing. two weeks.
