San Rem Field School, Day 1

Day 1 of the field school was spent learning about pedestrian survey, principles of mapping, and establishing grids.  We are continuing the work of the USC-NM group that excavated the area a month ago, thus, our job is easier since we now have an idea of stratigraphy.

Late in the morning, we opened up 4 units in and around the church property.
