En primer plano una escala con norte y ajuste de color del proyecto Polluted Past. Encima, a su derecha, las cuatro bolsas con muestras de cerámica en polvo en sus respectivas bolsas. A la izquierda, el cuaderno con las notas… sobre él, dos plumas y la fresa de tungsteno que usé para sacar las muestras.

Nueva tanda de muestras para Bichinos25, a ver si dan buenos resultados y seguimos avanzando en la lucha contra el expolio… #stoplooting
