Just updating

So we have been rather busy running around looking at different sites. This picture is a view from one of my favorite places we have stopped recently. It is the view from INSTAP Study Center for East Crete. All that basically means that it is the center on Crete were archeologist bring there site find to store, rebuild and study their findings. It is at this center prof. Mook brings all of her findings from her site Azoria. We got to tour the whole building. Prof. Mook's area of expertise is on pottery. So we got to see how they go about restoring ancient pottery. When we were there a team was sorting bones from a grave site. What I found to be the coolest part was getting to see the storage rooms of all of the finds. It is just self after self of ancient Greek materials! The best part is that the majority of the material that we got to see and touch has never been seen by anyone but the people who found it and restored it. We were not aloud to take pictures inside because of all the unpublished materials. Then tomorrow is another travel day! We are taking a boat to Thira. This is the island that I have been looking forward to the most! As always I will update as soon as I can! Taylor
