生病了....
起床時, 我發現自己感覺病好像好了一點.
當天挖掘的時候我們好像挖到了爐因為周邊都是炭及燒過的一些骨頭. Lindsay把一些周圍的土收集起來要帶回劍橋做更仔細的研究. 因為我們平常在挖的時候回輪有做是所以挖的位置會換來換去. 這次輪到我要挖陳小姐挖的地方所以變的我要挖出他挖到的犬類頭骨. 午餐過後, 我跟Ed, 還有Big Erin去我們在一個廢棄小學設立的臨時標本存放室. 那間小學時在禮文島的北部, 車程要大概10分鐘左右所以事有點距離的. 那邊住的人口又比船泊還更少許多所以感覺有點怪怪的. Amanda之前就跟我們說過那說小學感覺很像恐怖遊戲Silent Hill(沉默之丘)裡的東西很像因為那裡長長起霧而且又已經被廢棄一陣子了. 我在那裏看到在地板上的報紙是1999年的東西在寫關於松板大輔的事. 所以大概已經被廢棄有12年了吧? 我們在那裡做的事是清理標本上的土壤後挑出我們平常出土時就會挑的特別標本畢竟出土時泥土有時候會蓋掉一些重要的特點. 所謂的特別就是像.....陶器有紋路, 骨頭有燒過的痕跡, 或是其他不同於平常之類的東西. 那時候, Erin也有跟我們聊了一下, 他說他剛開是念大學的時候原本是念戲劇系的可是後來才轉到考古(差太多了吧?). 他也有給我們一些小考試像是骨頭方向之類的問題. Ed不是考古系出生的所以打不出來不過沒想到我竟然每個都有答對(SFU好像還是教到我一些東西)喔. Ed也說他打算用這次田野機會來決定是要念考古還是歷史系. 清理完後, 我們還得把他們放回袋子裡再把袋子晾著等它乾. 去完後, 我就回我的坑繼續挖我的東西.
總而言之.....那小學感覺實在有夠詭異的....
當天晚上的晚餐事法式炸蝦,蒟蒻, 生魚片,ちゃんちゃん焼. 水果則是柚子. 教授們說他們周末的時候要去札幌參加會議所以有兩天我們要自己挖.所以有兩天的時間會是博/碩生當老大監督我們的進度.

晚上沒有做什麼特別的事 頂多只有跟陳小姐或在大廳混了一整晚吧?
隔天起來發現感冒不但沒有好反而更嚴重....一整天挖東西挖到快虛脫了.
晚餐的時候加藤老師帶著一箱從富蘭野寄來的哈密瓜. 老師說是他的學生從那裡寄過來的而且是當地的名產. 吃了之後發現....不愧是被稱呼為名產的哈密瓜, 實在是太甜了! 我們也被Shota邀請去他學校的校會......應該會很好玩吧? 聽說他還會跳舞欸~

當天晚上, Hugh跑來問我跟陳小姐說在札幌能不能買到和服. 他說想要幫她女兒買一件(真是個好爸爸). 我們說絕對買得到可是會很貴, 他說貴也要買因為是很好的紀念.
就這樣結束了這一天.....感冒真討厭.

Nothing happened last time except I got sick
Anyways....
When I woke up, I felt that my cold was getting better.
When we were digging, we seemed to have found a hearth because of the charcoal and the burnt bones and such. Lindsay collected some of the material to bring back to England for dating. Usually, we take turns doing different tasks so we don't have a fixed spot of where we dig so that day I got to dig out the canid bone that Chen initially unearthed. After lunch, Ed, Big Erin, and I went to our lab at the northern tip of Rebun Island. We call that lab, Silent Hill, because it's creepy and foggy like the game plus it had been abandoned for 12 years. The school is about 10minutes drive from our site and it is possible to see Russia from there because it is the most northern spot of the island. The "newest" thing I saw in there was a newspaper article talking about Matsuzaka Daisuke. LOL We just did some cleaning of the things we dug out like using toothbrush to brush away the dried up dirt. We also check to see if we missed out on any special finds like pottery with motif or burnt bones, or even human bones. We were chatting and Erin told us that when she entered university, she wanted to do drama but in the end she switched to archaeology. She also asked us a lot of archaeology questions which to my surprise, I was actually able to get them all right. After that, we got a ride back and I went back to my pit and continued my dig.
But ya.....that school was definitely a strange one.
At dinner, the profs told us they were heading to Sapporo for the weekend for a conference so the phd and the master students would be in charge.
Didn't do much at night so went to sleep at the usual 10.
The next day, I woke up to find that the cold was actually worse than ever. The whole digging thing didn't really help too.
At dinner, Kato sensei brought a box of melons that were sent from Furano by his students. On the box, it said Furano's specialty product. Also, Shota invited us to go to his school's festival and we heard from Toshiko san that Shota was going to dance. lol
Later that night, Hugh came asking Chen and I about kimono. He asked us whether if Sapporo sold them or not, we said of course but it would probably be expensive. He said price wasn't an issue because it's for her daughter and it would be a good souvenir.
With that, I ended my crappy sick day.
