Amanda the Explorer

Today I went digging at the Beit Guvrin Caves. The place was 2000 years old. I used tools called a pick axe and a trowel. I found a lot of pottery, and a huge bone, and a snail shell. I passed up buckets with dirt and rocks so we could dump the buckets onto screens, and then shake the screens to look for more pottery and bones and shells that we missed before.

Then I went spelunking. I went down a lot of small holes, and then we actually got to pick a piece of pottery to keep. It was so much fun!
