It seemed like there was not much digging to be done in the morning, with only part of the ramp out of trench to be taken out while everyone else was sieving for small finds and drawing. But by the afternoon with a new ramp we muscled out a deeper trench by the drum tower and in the south of the trench 1. In the south we were helped by some easy sandy soil to dig but I can’t say the same for anyone digging by the tower.
There were a number of good finds today, including rare pieces of medieval glass, fragments of medieval pottery and a medieval knife blade. Paul was happy to find out that the piece of metal he found yesterday was in fact an arrowhead. Overall it was another great day on the dig we made lots of progress and are all in high spirits!
