One hour's archaeological excavation produced

Last time I was at the site, one hour's archaeological excavation produced:
2 potboiler stones
thumbnail sizes flake of flint
9 fragments of ceramics from 9 different ources. Mostly shell or grit tempered stuff. One thumbnail sized piece seems to have a light slip on one side and a dark residue (slip or burning) on the other.

Come and dig near Windsor in Berkshire

We could do with a digger or two to help on sundays in wraysbury during 2006. If you already have a little experience then please consider joining us opening a new trench which will reveal anglo-saxon treasures beyond your wildest imagininings (or some bits of broken pottery). email me for more info please.

Windsor and Wraysbury Archaeological Group

Windsor and Wraysbury Archaeological Group was founded in 1974

Thames valley Archaelogy

Crossrail produced a report on the impact of the crossrail scheme which includes a good deal of archaeological background on the thames valley around our site in Wraysbury.

What was it?

After painstakingly removing a 1 metre square mass of broken pottery and non-specific material that we were clueless about, one of our number proudly annonces that he still doesn't have a clue what it was. Time may tell, but personally I still think it was a midden that we excavated around leaving the contents as a vertical column of shite.
