Archaeologists resumed investigations at the Alamo Church this week, working in EUs 2B, 6, and 10. Due to inclement weather, excavations were active only 3 days of the week.
Archaeologists began excavations in EU-2B. This unit is a northwest extension of EU-2. Midweek rain caused significant wash out within the unit. A maximum depth of 30 cm below surface was reached by the end of the week. Very few artifacts were recovered. The top elevation of previously identified features (a ceramic pipe with a concrete cap and a loosely stacked limestone feature) was beginning to be exposed.
EU-6 reached an approximate depth of 100 cm below surface by the end of the week. Archaeologists began to expose the natural caliche deposit at the base of the unit. Artifact counts were relatively consistent with ceramics, lithics, and a bone toothbrush handle recovered from the unit.
