Map making of the object you want to dig is a neat plan. It has been used in archaeology and in other branches.

It is a plan of the archaeological dig connected with the Louvre. The big square is the dig, the two rectangular rooms are the store rooms before entering this level.

### 11.05 - Boxes

The boxthe wheelbarrow
There are some boxes with the text: "ST-27", "Wheel-Barrow", "Made in ...". The text is very blurry to see. A wheelbarrow is used in gardening but also at archaeology. The ST-27 refers to the wheel.

In fact: there is a wheel-barrow in the pit. The wheel looks like a caterpillar licensed wheel-barrow.
