The next four weeks were spent shifting over 20,000 tons of earth from the quarry, co-ordinating the work of the diggers with that of the forensic archaeologists and anthropologists, looking for bones, clothing, bits of pushchair, luggage and so on, bucketload by bucketload. The archaeologist directed the digger and inspected the surface of the soil after every scraping and the anthropologist searched through every bucketful.
