Accessioning Time

Now that we are through with three weeks of excavations, the team now proceeds to accessioning and cataloguing the thousands of ceramic sherds, shells, bones and other artifacts and ecofacts that we have recovered from our 10 excavation units.

Our quarters, the San Remigio Cultural Center, with each beckoning white sand beach and crystal clear waters, now serves as our field lab.

Joe G. Santiago continues to piece together the jigsaw puzzling carinated pot while Melvin and Neil Lambujon watch.

The hall way at the second floor of the center, our quarters, now begins to look like a field lab.

One crate is nearly full of accessioned artifacts, mainly earthenware sherds.
