Completed the inventory of box PSM 3 A and B and half of PSM 4. I did make an interesting discovery with finding in an earlier bag this black disk with a theater face. However, when looking through a bag later found two small containers one without a lid and had white contents. The one with the lid was covered in rust and rusted shut, but I did notice the that the lid had the same image as the earlier bag. I think the first black lid belonged to the container without a lid. Image of all three bellow.

Continued to look through box three and have only 3 or 4 bags left. It looks like this might be the first box from the 84' excavation and not mixed in material from Lot 3. Plan on finishing Monday and perhaps start my digital record of the material cataloged so far.

Friday 9:30-10:45 and Monday 2:30-5:00

Friday: Located several newsletters relating to the 1984 dig as well as a summer camp lead by Liz Mancz in 1995 that seems to be confused several times with the 84' dig.

Learned at the SHS that the toy like material found in the first two boxes I went through are from the Lot 3 material. I will document all the boxes and then decide what to do with the Lot 3 material.

Monday: Completed box two and began on box three that seemed to hold the material related to the PSM dig of 84' but I did not finish this box.

P.S. Eric told me that Ted found another box related to the Perkins Stone Mansion at the Historical Society, I will email to determine when to gather the new box.

Went to the SHS and looked through have of the newsletter and found two article. Scheduled another meeting for this Friday to pick up copies of the articles today and finish going through the other newsletters.

2/6/17: 2:00-5:00

Met with Fran at the Cummings Center where the collection is located. We developed a plan of what needs to be accomplished. As part of the plan, we set up a list of factors to take note of when going through the boxes.

Created a new code for the boxes PSM #, I was able to get through one and a half boxes, noted old box numbers and bag numbers. A lot of the material in the first box look to be from a toy factory with lots of molded boots and small pots.
