Dear all,

We had another good day at the Whipple Store, it was very productive and we made a lot of headway in clearing the area we will be surveying.

A little bit more needs done, and so we will be doing some of that in the morning.

In the afternoon, we will be starting the topographic survey. Tomorrow's activity will consist of laying in the fundamental elements for the topographic survey.

For those of you interested in surveying, this will provide a basic understanding of the principles of survey work. We will be using a high tech layer surveying device that I got from Berkeley, it is top of the line so it should be a great opportunity to learn a valuable skill (i.e - we will be shooting lasers, much fun to be had). Lunch will be provided. If it is raining, we can still do some of the work in the morning. In the afternoon, we can have an archaeological instruction session in the Whipple Store and do some of the survey work.

Okay, hope to see a bunch of you tomorrow!

Whipple
