Description
English:

Geologist Kathleen Springer taking field notes using a notebook at the excavation site. Individual is sitting on the left-side edge of a dugout trench with two fossilized human footprints on the right side.

It is common practice to take field notes while conducting projects to document the most detailed and accurate information possible. These trenches were created to measure sedimentary layers and determine a timeline using seeds found in between the layers. This timeline would later be used to estimate the date of the footprints.
