The director of the excavations, Professor Thomas Leisten, asked me to do the photography and secondary surveying. The primary surveying was done by a student from the Tübingen Insti- tute using an electronic theodolite and laptop computer. I used a s cast-iron transit, pencil and paper, and a calculator. Despite its lack of modern features such as electronic distance mea- surement (which the theodolite has), this beauti- ful old instrument served me well in locating last year’s grid, setting out the trenches, and taking elevations.
