Roman Boxford – Andy's First Day on an Archaeological Site
15th August 2017 / boxfordparish /
As he said the photos give a flavour of the day overall for someone new to archaeology. Photos taken last Saturday.
9am – site office
The workforce to designated areas with buckets and tools.
Said bucket with kneeler – most important!
This is how to do it……………….
Andy's bit of the trench.
Some of his finds
They look better after washing and are more recognisable.
Down buckets for lunch – 1pm
Bramble the Labrador, living in hope!
Alice and the pot washing team having a break for lunch
Looks like a brick floor tile……………. but it may turn out to to be something else!
A delighted Matt with a part of the tessellated floor in the main villa.
