Yesterday, two birds of passage came on the island: a large yellow green bird of colour, which feeds on butterflies which live around the velvet makers, it’s probably not a sea bird; a swallow also flew around the buildings of the station and our tent all evening.
The work of cleaning and scouring continues on the site, tiresome and painful under the sun and in dust. We also verified the foundations of the old destroyed building of the weather station, which is in the middle of the excavations, are well descended up to the archaeological ground. We had a small hope that the concrete flagstone of the floor remained above, but this hope was opposed. One thus should not intend to find archaeological vestiges in the hold of this building, but it is probable that certain objects, even human remainders can be found in the surroundings, in the layer of cuts which comes from the foundations. We succeeded in finding all the characteristics of a bottle out of blown glass, found near the bones. The puzzle of about fifteen pieces was reconstituted with patience and a roll of scotch tape.
