Box 2:

1. Rechecked the pieces for dirt and recleaned some.
2. Glued pieces which had been separated and cleaned yesterday.
3. Completed gluing the additional fragments.
4. Copmleted as much as possible from this box.

Have decided to wait for the return of E. Nielsen (on break) before consolidating material from Box 1 and 2. There are some solid parts of bones, only fragments pieced together. It may be best to just paint them with PVA emulsion rather than emerse them in the PVA emulsion bath.

Note: Pelvis (Box 1) fragments are very fragile. It is difficult to remove the earth still consolidated with the bone fragments by PVA.

P.M.

Box 3 Bone 1: Taped together the fragments. This bone will be extremely difficult to glue together. It had been split apart by earth and rootlets.

Reorganized the working space. Added tell cards for the bones 2 and 3 (Box 3). Bagged and placed loosely (inside the bag) for all fragments. Placed Box 3 bones with photo (and televards) in a wooden box off the work table. Awaiting E. Nielsen's return for consultation.
