What I have done:

Today in between the constant power outages, I digitized Room 15 of Area 2.1 for Amheida's 2007 complete site plan. I also digitized Room 19 Section 13 in Area 2.1 and Rooms 20 and 21 Plan 2 for the 2008 Amheida season.

During one of the power outages I helped Irene Soto clean glass from surface finds at Amheida.

What I have learned:

Since I was digitizing sections and adding plans to the general plan of the villa, I learned the proper way to integrate new plans into existing general plans. This involves scaling the new image so it corresponds to the size of the larger plan. While it can be rather tedious to get right, it is important to scale it properly so the larger general plan of the area can be complete and accurate.

Problems I have found:

The power outages were a major problem today, they significantly hurt my productivity.
