Hunting for hammerscale in some of our highly magnetic deposits #PLACE18 #huntingthesmithy
What’s this hiding at the base of one of our terraced structures in Area B? #PLACE18 #sherdsorpot #medievalpuzzle
The PAST team giving our Roman Potter kiln a nice shower so it ready for a photo #PLACE18 #archaeology #roman
Sometimes we see traces of past societies, sometimes past communities, occasionally we find traces of an individual. In this instance the finger impressions on the clay lining of an ancient kiln #PLACE18 #archaeology
After a week and a half of digging the ‘structure’ in Area C we have finally started to get to the bottom of it.... quite literally. The students have revealed a layer of burning, possibly associated with the final distraction of whatever type of building it was. Hopefully it’s function will become clear as we begin to excavate these layers #PLACE18 #archaeology #medieval
Hot out of the ground at the end of Day 6..... no idea what it is yet but we will get it washed tomorrow #PLACE18
One of the aims of the project is to understand the relationship between harbourside communities and maritime connectivity. This photo gives a nice sense of how close our site is to harbour access #PLACE18 #Archaeology
