Cataloguing

Temporarily distracted by other projects, Pete and Anne return to cataloguing Port Tobacco material tomorrow. Before leaving today, Pete gave me a quick rundown on material awaiting washing and cataloguing. Even without specific numbers, it is pretty clear that we will be at this for awhile. On top of the field session material, which we handled quickly and easily after last year's field session, we have four weeks of April and her moles collecting material.

I suspect that we will easily have catalogued 300,000 artifacts from Port Tobacco by the end of this year. We'll highlight a few of those over the next few weeks.
