Coining it.

Fragment of Durotrigian bronze coin. Fragment of Roman broach. Roman balance weight. House of Constantine bronze Roman coin - reverse showing a campgate. Medieval purse bar, minus one arm.

The reason we are going back to the DMV site is because these artefacts were found in a new field. This may indicate that the settlements houses may be located where these were found. 

 

Cor! What a Stud!!

 

This nice decorative door stud was recently found at the DMV site. This would have been from a building of status, so probably not from our DMV itself. 

Last shot?

We returned to the DMV site to do another geophysical survey just south of the scheduled monument area and picked up a possible disturbed area of ground covered by nettles, as they love the deeper soil. We won't dig the area yet, as we are also looking at another field on the farm where some nice artefacts have been found. We will do a survey on this new field and then if we start excavating again we can do both at the same time. It is worth a last shot to try and find some buildings. More to come.
