Today we cracked on with making some progress in Trench 2 over on the ramparts. We still have a way to go to understand their construction and to get to the bottom of the ditch, but Cherish’s Dan and friend Nicky made brilliant headway down in blisteringly hot conditions!
Meanwhile our lovely Venturers continued in their quest for answers about the stone mound in the corner of the trench.
The stones seem to continue down and down! Venturers Jenny and Amber did a super job, finding lots more cremated bone fragments.
Further down the trench, Venturers Justin and Eve worked alongside Cherish’s Lou and DV’s own Jodie in the occupational zone. They found lots more charcoal flecks in and around the low stone wall and some possible post holes.
Venturer Ben also did a super job, finding bits of charcoal and slag in our occupational layer along with more cremated bone fragments.
Eve then received a ‘how to plan a post-hole 101’ from DV’s own Steph and we made great headway on getting that written and drawn record down for the site. As important as the digital records are, it’s always great to have a hand-drawn section to match them up to.
