did i mention we are having an open dig day at #UrasoeGusuku ?
we are. however since this year's survey is on top of a 5 m high cliff and we have to make you come on the scaffolding, the number of persons is limited. you have to register through the online form. #urasoe does not intend to advertise it too much because it is very popular dig with generally abt 700 persons showing up for the open day and we only have 100 slots this year.

Service Announcement ! we started the photographic (and laser woohoo) records at #Urasoe #Gusuku which means we took ＊all＊ the covering tarps off ＊including the ones on the previous survey areas＊! it will stay open until the 8th, ＊including this week-end＊. of course it's not possible to enter the survey areas, but you can see quite a lot from the above path that goes to wakari-jii. come and see cute stone walls !

photograph of a limestone stone wall at the top of a cliff. that's a previous survey area. behind, there is the current survey area with scaffolding. and in the background, the green sea of tree tops and vegetation in the valley below.

although it is FieldFriday we had to suspend fieldwork due to persisting rain (i'm not allowed to post pics of the dig on social media, so it wouldn't have changed much…). the rain stopped at noon and i thought i'd go and map the paths in the #gusuku that are not very accurate in #osm during the lunch break but it's raining again… i'll just give up and have coffee.

for #FootpathFriday have photographs of the (reconstructed) paved road from #Shuri to #Urasoe, south of #UrasoeGusuku entrance. the road was improved and paved by king Shō Nei, who also added a stone bridge in Taira (Taira-bashi bridge). Shō Nei had been brought up in Urasoe as a member of a lower house of the royal family and was chosen to be king when there was no descendant for the main line.
