First Features


At last! We have started excavating the non-scheduled DMV. However, the geology is clay, the archaeologists Nemesis. When dry it turns to concrete and when wet it can turn the trench into something from WW1. However, we can't choose to just work on nice soft stratigraphy, so on we go. A possible linear feature turned out to be a dud, but the orange clay and dark features are looking interesting. Once these features are excavated, interpreted and recorded we will expand the trench to 10m x 10m. Keep looking in for more news on this rare opportunity to research a DMV.
