2023-09-17 12:49:06 +0000 UTCI just watched the first video, which was great. What kind of burials was Jackie talking about when she mentioned the mirror burials? I couldn’t catch the word she used.

2023-09-17 00:22:08 +0000 UTCThanks to your comment I've just twigged it was this site and that original trench Derek mentioned in one of the podcasts (or might have been more than one, I listened to several on a long journey last year). Thanks for the link!

Danny Skarka
2023-09-16 17:16:30 +0000 UTCThey’re all men. Not enough ladies on site?

2023-09-16 16:51:03 +0000 UTCFinds in the topsoil are generally less significant because they are not in a stratigraphically secure context although, as you rightly say, they can indicate the location of a site. However, artefacts can be introduced to the soil in other ways e.g. the use of domestic waste, manure etc. to fertilise agricultural land.

2023-09-16 15:25:18 +0000 UTCA refresher on chronology is good. Is the British Iron Age different from continental European Iron Age dates and culture? Where did the culture come from? Did it linger into the Roman period? In fact, a basic primer on the sequence of prehistoric ages and maybe a map would be most helpful. It's easy when you're not a student of archeology to get the "ages" and what identified them most mixed up. Just a paragraph and a map would do.

2023-09-16 13:34:54 +0000 UTChello all the time team and experts (im autistic by the way please be understanding ) wouldn’t it be great if the team went back to several former interesting sites to get more information out of them by applying some of the new groundbreaking techniques of modern archeology with old ones. Do you think combined techniques would bring some final puzzles all together ?
Stefanie Messialle
2023-09-16 13:03:23 +0000 UTCIs there ever any significance attributed to the location of a find within the plow soil layer or is it simply considered unimportant? (other than locating interesting sites)

2023-09-16 12:49:42 +0000 UTCIf you want to watch Derek and Lawrence dig that original test pit, look at their series on youtube, "Career in Ruins in the Field." Corfe Castle is always in the background just like photo #1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvtfxoC-S_g
