The weekend turned out to be great fun, with weather that was a lot better than expected! (Some of the trainees even prefer it to be overcast and damp!)
We worked across an area of the site that has not been investigated in detail since the second phase of machine clearance in February 2009.
The moisture helped a bit with making things visible on the ground. Here you can see some of the pits and features that we looked at.
In just two days we managed to look at Viking, Medieval and Post Medieval archaeology. The features appear to be an oven, a waste pit (possible industrial waste) and what may be garden features.
It was still sunny enough for people to get the sunglasses out!
Finds were also very interesting with lots of pot, tile, bone and some small finds like a hone stone and Viking ice skate
With the good progress made we even got a chance to do some recording.
Thank you to all who made it along, a great weekend with a great mix of people, some new and some we have worked with before.
