Hail at Seyla and other updates

| 0 comments

The weather at Seyla today was miserable, it was cold and windy with intermittent rain and yes – hail! The crew attempted to work through the rough weather but it was apparent by noon that it would not be possible. However, there are still updates from Seyla, particularly concerning the cow barn.

In the west room of the cow barn, the crew has successfully excavated down to the floor.

In the east room of the cow barn, the crew is continuing to excavate the room and yesterday they hit upon a well preserved dog skull. The picture below shows the dog skull on the left and a sheep’s jaw on the right. 

And below is a close up of the dog skull.
