S21 | Dig 1: Trevisker Ware (Pot Lug) - 3D Model
Added 2022-03-31 19:10:18 +0000 UTCWe're back with another 3D photogrammetry model, courtesy of Matt 'Bear' Clark of Shadow Tor Studios.
This lovely fragment of Trevisker ware complete with 'lug' (handle) was discovered earlier at Boden, Cornwall by Meneage Archaeology Group.
It's a great example of the decorative geometric designs recreated by Natalie Haynes and potter, Angie Wickenden, in the experimental archaeology segment on Day Two. Zoom in to see the indentations left by the twine.

Post-Excavation Update
Post-ex analysis is still ongoing for both of Time Team's recent digs. This is typically a complex and time-consuming process, involving the insights of a wide range of experts in various disciplines, which are then collated and compiled into the final report. We'll be sharing much more information on specific finds, trenches and developments as the process progresses, so please watch this space for further updates.

Comments
I really loved the explanation and example that Angie provided from an experimental archeology standpoint. While the artifact is really nice, being able to see her use the twine on the clay makes it easy to picture the original potter at work.

2022-04-01 07:15:53 +0000 UTCWe'll likely never know the full context, but Carl mentions in Day 2 that it has been suggested that specific patterns might have represented individual families.

2022-04-01 07:15:01 +0000 UTCFinally able to view and move around a 3-D model! Fantastic!

2022-03-31 23:14:45 +0000 UTCI love being able to move it around and zoom. You really can see in your mind's eye a crafter with twine carefully pressing that pattern. We see that pattern often in these items. Is it a function of the tools they had to make it, or does it have further relevance and meaning? Does it denote the crafter or the region for example?

2022-03-31 20:29:14 +0000 UTCWhat is inside the lug shaft?
2022-03-31 20:28:05 +0000 UTCI am well satisfied with the results of the dig in Cornwall.
