A wet day in the trench

A short blog-entry as today it rained - a lot! Despite this we did make progress. Brian and Dermot excavated and recorded two intercutting pits: one had quite a bit of charcoal though no evidence of in situ burning. Both pits produced animal bone and medieval pottery and presumably are simple medieval rubbish pits. Sieving was a bit of a challenge though we did go through all the material and recovered more pottery and bone.
