June 18th 2019 - Nikki the Photography Expert.

This morning four students came into the lab, a few others joining in the afternoon. Shaunti, Nikki, Sepideh and I all worked on our projects as the sun came out from behind the clouds.

Nikki worked on cataloguing artifacts found in the 2019 field season, and also distributed pictures to a few students of artifacts she captured in the past few weeks for their projects.

Shaunti worked on writing up the report on all of the information about artifacts she has researched in the past few weeks. She is using some of Nikki's photos, including one of 'Stevens Comfort' foot warmer. Siobhan is also using some images from Nikki of ponds cold cream jars in her research report.

Sepideh got some images from Nikki to use in her video, while also working on sorting through level bags. Bob created a project for a few students to take one of each item from all level bags to keep in his collection, so the storage situation doesn't get out of control. Most bags contain multiples of nails, bottle glass and small metal fragments, and because they are all logged in level bag reports, there is no need to keep everything.

Angus came in this afternoon to start putting back industrial artifacts from the display case in the lab. When he was assigned his project on barrel rings and other metal artifacts, he put a bunch of them in a small display case at the back of the classroom. Because we are getting to the end of the term, him and others are beginning to clean up.

I spent the day working on writing up a report on the blog. I looked into the statistics of the website and found it very interesting. It showed that most of the views on this blog come from within Canada, but people from other countries are also reading it.

How many views we have gotten from each country on the blog so far.

Tomorrow, some students will be going to try and find the Hastings Seymour Camp in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve, and others will continue to work on their projects.
