Been a busy month.....
Finishing up in the house where Ben was working we sampled any possible floor type deposits
This is it just before we started to remove the timbers. I like the wooden threshold at the back right hand side, it fits within the footing for the steps.
Lifting the timbers was relatively simple
Steve was on hand to help at all times
We got a pump in to help us finish off pitzilla
Danni is stood inside the wicker section we dug in the summer

You can see the larger wicker feature that was below
Taking that apart was not too difficult
Earlier than that there was a rectangular pit with a timber post and wicker sides
Again it was well preserved
Finally behind that there was another wicker sheet that had been slid in to support the sides
The house Artemi was working on has proven to be very complicated
The back end seems to have been open at some point and a series of occupation/use deposits have gone down
The building has had round wood posts that were ripped out when it was demolished
The other side has been robbed during demolition but you can see traces of a plank surviving
The building right at the bottom corner (where Hannah worked) has taken shape
Luckily we have had the cat helping us!
