Digging 30: SK24

Another day on which I took only two photos at work. This is part of one, mucked about with a bit.
There is still too much to do, but it looks a bit more manageable, now.
We understood another bit of the site, today; looking at old maps and relating them to what we now have on the ground, we reckon that a mysterious set of features is a crudely surfaced road between two walls, leading up to the back door of Hamilton House. Some of the confusing stuff underneath the cobbling is dumps of levelling material, put is to avoid the road being too steep. Ahaa!

I'm getting a few more diggers to help excavate skeletons, too, and the boss has agreed to us drawing plans of the skeletons at 1:20 rather than 1:10 (this will much more than halve the time taken to record each inhumation :)

In answer to dear Cabbagetree's question, the reddish colours in the walls in yesterday's blip are from the local sandstone, rather than iron-staining. Sorry for the lack of comments; it's home, cook, blip, bed on weekdays at the moment. I may have to get up early tomorrow, anticipating travel problems as Edinburgh's roads get blocked off to allow the Popemobile to zoom past...
