TR28 and TR46 and a wet Friday

With a wet and windy Friday in the forecast we dug Thursday and Friday morning until rain stopped digging. Progress has been made, the Marys did a nice job of making the sections in TR28 perpendicular- so it's possible to record them more accurately. We'll cover this over for the winter after Clair Young MP's visit on Wednesday. A large amount of animal bone was recovered from this work.

TR46 is proving interesting as Zillah exposes more of the pathway/surface it is now becoming clear a mix of manmade and stone in its natural bed have been used. It is significant that there is an almost a complete lack of artefacts in the east of TR46 and only a small amount in the west, this is at odds with most other trenches.

TR46 Path extending further south but partly on natural bed.               Mary Knight pushing on in TR46 in the rain, lots of rubble with no finds !

Both Marys made a fine job of the sections in TR28. The is natural bedrock it's resting on.

It is a pile of rubble but with lots of artefacts only 5 m.south of TR46 with very few artefacts.
