At Seyla, we have continued looking for the boundaries of the cow barn and the walls of the skali (longhouse). We have been troweling through deposits of collapsed turf and tephra (ash from a volcanic eruption) and have occasionally come across animal bones. Mike Way and Kate Johnson have been excavating a peat ash and burn deposit.

As mentioned in the previous post, an area of Seyla was deturfed and imaged using GPR. Below is a picture of Mike, Marisa, and Brian using the machine to conduct GPR.
