From Jim Hall:
"Day two went smoothly and we were almost done when the two state archaeologists and the Tulalip tribe representatives showed up. Work continued and eventually they were about to leave when one of the state people picked up a bone and said it could be human. Our archeologist said it did not look human to him and it would be unusual in an excavation of this size to find one human bone. Unsatisfied, the state forensics specialist was sent pictures and we had to stop working for four hours until the forensics guy said it was whale bone.
They were all tired and cranky by this time and just waved their arms around, reiterated the monitoring requirements, generally behaved in an official manner and then left.
We were able to then get back to work and finished around 7pm."
Excuse me, but these are our tax dollars at work...
One thing that I loved to see was the saving of the "HALL" emblem on our old stoop. We will make this part of the new home. Any suggestions?
Thank you Jim for your photos and notes!
