Warren gazes out to admire D5's work
Tel Dor is a grueling experience; a great one, but tiring. At the end of the 6 weeks, if you're one of those who chose to dig for the whole season, you're ready to go home, take a shower, and pass out in your own bed. However, it was very bittersweet to begin the cleaning process, preserving our work for the next season to start from.
Clean up entailed doing a last series of photographs, which meant I had to climb a 10 foot ladder and get whole areas into my frame. My semi-dormant fear of heights was definitely riled during the process. We also had to put down plastic over everything we opened up, and then, ironically, chain a couple feet of dirt back into the pits. This is to prevent people from coming and digging up real things, if someone were to dig after the cleanup process, they would just be going through back fill. Finally, the shade tents had to come down, get rolled up, and labeled.
