We have found our wall, I also found a door post holder. I will put pictures on the blog. The one's beside us have numbers now they are 1151 and 1152. Since ours are continuations of previous found walls they have to look back in the data and find what numbers they have. A little humor happens also, yesterday Dr. Savage and some in a locus that has been pretty barren in finds where talking about finding a Mazzuza (one of the Jewish door posts prayer things) in the dig. Well he planted one for a lady to find, she started laughing for it was a plastic modern one. Well Bill Hild, a pastor from Florida, had bought several first century oil lamps in Jerusalem, Dr. Savage had kept requesting we find some oil lamps since some of the other areas had found some. Well Bill planted them in their barron square (They called it the hell hole because they had moved some much dirt and stones and found little). Bill called Dr. Savage to come see what he had found. He had planted one lamp right side up and one upside down and put some bones found earlier beside them. He had uncovered the bones and one lamp, Dr. Savage was very excited. He said cain't you find two. Well Bill began to uncover the other one and the Dr. was very excited. Bill was thinking he had had it for this prank. Rance one of his church members wispered, you better tell him now. Well he reached in the little hole in the lamp and pulled out a note that said Gotcha. But with the walls and another exciting find which we could not start uncovering on Friday. Look for the row of five stones in the picture. I don't think he was to disappointed. We had not pottery reading today because it was the begining of the Jewish Shbott (Sabbath). No lectures either. I worked on organizing my pictures which are numerous.
I am writing this on Saturday morning, leazure breakfast, read some magazines I brought, came to the museum to get internet. It looks like a relaxing Saturday with maybe some touring tomorrow if we can work it out.
