The 2026 excavation has started. The investigation of this Dorset Deserted Medieval Village will continue to uncover the life of this settlement. We opened up a second 10m square and more features became apparent, so we will pick up our trowels once more every Wednesday and Sunday.
This year we will publish our day-to-day Dig Diary along with photos of features dug and artefacts found.
Here is the first interesting find:
This would have been used to mend two parts of a broken ceramic vessel. This has a long history, as ceramics were not just thrown away if they could be mended. The Romans did it too. In fact, there is still a very small fragment of pot under the flanges.
