Day 19: More observations
One of my goals for this study season has been to revisit each part of the NIP and spend time looking for details that I have not seen before. I finished that process today.
Here is an example of new learning. I knew there was a bench on the west wall in the room across from the entrance to the south aisle of the church. But I had never noticed before that the bench is in two parts. Apparently, more space was needed for whatever was stored there.

Little insights make for better understanding.

Day 20 (a bit late)
by Dr. Mark Schuler • 2019, Research Phase
Although I am posting this notice a bit after the fact, I am so thankful to Dr. Michael Dorner and (now Vicar) Rob Schrader for their help this season. We accomplished the tasks planned:
* a thorough cleaning of the site
* digital and photogrammatic documentation
* probes in two streets
We even finished a day early and were able to help Jess’s team with the cleaning and covering of the “Burnt Church.” For more about the discoveries there, see this link.
