A tomb?

After two long days of sifting dirt, I finally got to start excavating at Huaca Pucllana yesterday! It pretty fun to dig away at the soil and find ancient walls. I also found a piece of a textile, ceramics, seashells, and fish bones. Everyone though the area were working in was a tomb because the bricks were laid in a similar fashion to other tombs on the site and there a was floor just a little above it. Because of that, I went back after lunch to watch them open it up, and it wasn't a tomb. We didn't find anything... just more bricks of the pyramid's wall! Oh well, maybe next time :)
