The Beginning.
Let me paint a picture for you. Imagine you are in a field of sunflowers and soybean plants surrounded by rolling hills in the near distances with flocks of sheep and orchards. Further in the distance is a mountain range that seemingly goes on forever. Right in the middle of all of this natural beauty is our excavation! Are you jealous yet?
This is the first post for the Apulum Roman Villa Project (ARVP) 2019. The first field season is already underway. So far, we have had about a week of archaeological excavations and have made some tremendous progress. There are two main areas this season that will be explored. Area A is focused on understanding the main residential building at ARVP. Area B is focused on understanding activities happening within additional buildings at the villa.
This blog will address the everyday life of this dirty team of archaeologists! I will be updating the progress that we make every few days and the field trips that we take on Sundays. Get excited for more posts to come!
