Archaeology • The first time we went we saw everything that they had found.They find lots of old pots and bones and they had found a stone that people had sharpened tools on. There were 4 trenches.
The first trip • On our first trip we saw the trenches and the things that they had found they had lots of things and they would all be going to university.
The Sieve • All the soil that has come out of the trenches is put through the sieve to see if there is any small objects that they will need. The sieve is very big so they can put a lot of things through it.
The second trip • The next time we went they had closed it back over. Kev showed us around this path that was a stream long ago what lead under a wall and lead to a barn that holds water.
THE EARTHWOKS • The earthworks are humps and bumps. Sometimes they are circles from where houses have been. Some places have square shaped earthworks where animals have been kept.
Equipment • They use toothbrushes to clean there finds.They used trowels to dig with so that they didn’t break anything in the soil.They put there finds in bags and sent them to a university.
