Mid-week Update on Bosnian Pyramid project for 3.08.2006 As we enter the month of August, the project continues to take undeniable shape, and this week has brought some great developments. The trial phase is nearing its end, and the foundation's experts are now concentrating on exploring potentially rich and relevant areas on both pyramids. For this week's progress, we first travel to the Pyramid of the Sun, where sites 5, 14, 16 and 18 were active, with major activity on site no. 5. On this site on the north face of the pyramid, a host of pottery shards, fired organic remains and soil were discovered Tuesday, August 1, by Serbian archaeologist Aleksandra Andeloković. Ms. Andelković is working on section C of the square (where the artifacts and organic materials were found), which has been excavated to a depth of 10 cm, and is now being expanded. Samples of fired soil were taken for lab analysis. In sites 14 and 16, also on the north side, the clearing of surface layer is ongoing with the removal of tree trunks cut last week. On the plateau, site no. 18 is also being cleared of its surface layer, and the square is now at a depth of 3.2 meters. On the Pyramid of the Moon, major excavations are underway to find the base of the pyramid. The area under site no. 1 on the west side, the terrace, is being opened in intervals as part of the probe. Several of these trial sites yielded nothing remarkable, but today stair-shaped sandstone tiles were found in section B2. Also on the west side, site no. 4 continues to be expanded, now standing one meter deep in the hill. Sites on the plateau of the Moon were active as well. This week has also brought many guests and volunteers, led by superstar American geologists Prof. Robert Schoch and Colette Dovell, who arrived on July 31 and will stay until August 9. The geologists have been inspecting the pyramids and tunnels, and will present their findings next week.
