2004 Castle Excavations

The 2004 field season was spent excavating in and around the Salemi castle.

We uncovered mostly medieval refuse, including a cistern filled with excellent debris! There was also uite a bit of of ancient ceramic material scattered throughout the area.

We acutally moved more dirt this year than any other. Over 35 cubic meters!
