There are so many artifacts, the pictures actually get a little overwhelming, but I LOVE it!!
I find the aerial photography of the excavation pits really intriguing. You see both the beginnings of the underground structures, and also the logic of the dig. Keep these up!

Hello,
I’ve enjoyed the posts and photos on your blog very much.
I’m intrigued about the ‘Lady of Burna’. Where was she found? Have you found any other figurine fragments?
Thanks,
Victoria
