When you do a dig, you do the dig in increments, measured metrically. Our dig square was 50 cm by 50 cm, and we dug down to a depth of either 40 or 50 cm, depending. Anyhow, you start your dig, and record the first ten cm separately from the second cm and from the third, and so forth.

The artifacts in the photo below are from the first 10 cm (centimeters) in depth in our second, more productive hole. This is everything, everything except one small pottery shard which we kept separate (it being more fragile).

I don't have a measure of scale in this photo, but the largest object is probably about two inches across, at the most.

Upper left: chert flakes, from stoneknapping work. Chert is native to the Hudson Valley (New York), and I think Maine.

Upper center: One lone jaspar flake, Pennsylvania, I believe.

Lower left: Quartz, mostly flakes. The upper one may have been a tool, and the lower left one was interesting for some reason that I can't remember at least looking at it from this angle.

Right hand stones: Quartzite. The bottom one may have been part of a scraping tool. The middle one appears to have been fire-burnt. The top one shows some signs of having been worked.

Addendum: The one thing I want to remark on is that October is much more pleasant to dig in, than August!!!
