We were recently invited by Wessex Archaeology to help with fieldwalking activities in the Gravesend area. Archaeological investigations are currently being undertaken in fields and grounds near Shorne Woods in relation to the development of the Lower Thames Crossing project.
Many thanks to the staff – they made us all feel very welcome (and thanks for making cups of tea and providing biscuits).
We’ve had some queries about flint knapping and thought we’d post a basic run down of the British timeline along with some introductory sheets on flints.
Thanks go to Trevor for putting this together.
We are now in the process of backfilling the second building and simultaneously we will be cleaning the excavation of building three followed by recording, photographing and
then backfilling.
This will bring an end to over three and a half years of excavations on the Plateau site.
Once this is completed we will move on to an exciting new site in the east of the park, of more anon……
We are on site most Thursdays and Fridays so do come and say hello or better still join us for a day. Please send us an email first to make sure we are on site as occasionally we work away.
SWAG have been active for the Festival of Archaeology and holding a dig with Kings Oak School, Eltham. Here’s the group on the first day:
