Boljoon yielded once more its golden treasures buried beneath the church and convent grounds today, on our 13th day of excavation. So, who says 13 is unlucky?



Four burials with two modern postholes (for volleyball posts) that intruded into them. Two of the burials,Burial # 28 and 29 are nearly complete.


A mid-Ming covered powder box, probably Hong Zhi period (1488-1505) on Burial 29, a female.


A long gold necklace is revealed on the neck area of Burial 29.




The gold necklace, now cleaned and shiny.

The length of the necklace.
