Rain shortened day. This will happen in England. Annoyingly after the day was "called" the skies cleared and it was rather nice. Sigh.
I started the day back in the Centurion's apartment. It had been a tedious bit of floor cleaning the day before so I was angling for a reassignment but was sent back for more exposing and polishing of cobbles. Fair enough, I am actually quite good at this.
My karmic reward was a coin. Now, I am not allowed to show any metal finds of consequence. And so I shan't. But I don't see that there is any prohibition against noting that the Romans often put on the reverse of their coins an image of a goddess holding a staff. Sort of like this:
Interestingly the recording of small finds is done differently this year. In times past the finder of something fun would be given a special marked pole and one of the archaeology team would record the find with something like a surveyors device called a Total Station. It was fun, you held that staff up in victory even though it was not your picture being taken. Nowadays there is a GPS based device and it is generally held by one of the assistants. I think the similarity to the above coin image is rather interesting....
Last day tomorrow. Sigh.
