Days 7 and 8 at Mota Piece

To clarify: yes, I have been digging all this week. The photos in my post from yesterday (High and Over) were taken last Sunday :)

Below are some photos from Tuesday and Wednesday at Mota Piece:

Victorian drainpipe in TR8 (another section of this was found last year)

TR8 drawings

Look closely and you can see (L-R): Bader, the castle, and one of the
Observatory domes

Bader and the All Saints church spire

Creating shade for official photography


Level and string line (the level is full of liquid with a bubble in it;
if the bubble is in the middle of the level when the string is pulled taut,
the string is exactly level. The string line is used for taking measurements
when drawing trench profiles.

Found in 7A

John's method of stopping the gazebo roof poles from collapsing
during high winds: tape, a reinforcement rod and zap straps

  1. Wow; that's a pretty big tray of "finds" from 7A! Is it mostly pottery shards ? Are those teeth in a couple of the close-up photos ?

    LOVE the video; thanks for posting it !!!

    Have a really great trip over the next 5 days Hanna ! I know you did a LOT of work with the planning. I hope it all goes smoothly; and have some fun too !

  2. Hi Hanna,
    I have a question. Do the trenches get filled back in at some point ? Is there work going on year round ??
