The pathway represented so many times

As yesterday, we did not have any photographs of the path about which I spoke previously; I went to take some of them to illustrate this subject.

This morning, the last large work of embankment and cleaning of the site, and luckily, because the wind completely fell and in the afternoon, it’s preferable not to agitate too much.
Entirely recovered with sand, the three buildings disappeared; the island seems to have taken again possession of it.

The work is completed, to mark this moment, I did not hesitate to photograph my gloves.
A rather strong heave breaks all around the island. A vaguely atmospheric depression cloud system brings to us, as appears, this heave.

It is the moment to start to gather the material and to take the very last photographs. Particularly, a piece of lead found yesterday by embanking the site: it is about a whole of three molten lead run-outs which, although found out of an archaeological layer, appears to confirm that our Madagascans melted lead to manufacture the basins which we found.

We also have to make the reconstitution of the skeleton n°2 and to photograph it; the ping-pong table is used as a photo studio.

Everyone puts their photographs at disposal, classified chronologically and by topics; there are several thousands of them. It is better to classify them progressively not to be completely absorbed!
