Reached mortared wall today- nice squared ashlars, whole nine yards. Katee finally sits up and pays attention. General conclusion is that the unmortared tumble they tore out was from rough wall of Byzantine pit, over Roman architecture. Of course, not enough documentation to prove for sure. Still going at a furious pace- they're desperate to find enough reason to open this site next season.
Greg had me help draw sections in the next trench over. Nice guy, being good to me- really like him. He is a bit of an odd duck though. Not terribly assertive about his subject area, seems like he feels like he's floundering a bit. Has no practical experience, which makes him even more intimidated than he was already inclined to be. Very anal, with a desperate desire to do things right, which of course directly contradicts the "seek-no-conflict" imperative and makes him kind of tie himself in knots. Very interesting to be around.
Finally, the promised "fareval" party held down on the beach. Lots of rowdy guys from the first two weeks showed up. Lovely sunset, Ilan's kids, wife (very young!), dogs... fun.
