The B1 trench, that we opened because we can't work on the main 10m square trench at the moment, has yielded lots of pottery from a very stony layer. That has now been excavated down to the clay. On the left are larger stones, that may go deeper, so that is our next task.
This small pit was located in the NE corner. Very neat, but alas, no finds.
This very nice saddle strap end came up whilst Hugh was using his metal detector in the B1 grid square. He had already found the several buckles shown below, in the same area. It can be dated 1000-1100.
From this drone shot (looking SE) you can see our 10m square trench, with the 4m x 2m trench just to the north. This little trench will keep us busy until the rains come, hopefully. Top left is the rest of the DMV humps and bumps, this being scheduled.
