Report by Jon
“Four members of the Team were on duty this week. Given recent road closures, they went straight to the farm. Jake, Nick and Jon were ably supported by Brockers, who remembered the key!
By way of reward for his first important contribution, Brockers was given the role of chief digger. He was backed up by Nick, who obviously became the second digger. He modified the side wall of the slope in the interests of hauling efficiency. Between them, Jon and Jake moved the spoil back to the pot. Jake was at the back, moving between the two ends of the main haul as required and consequently did most of the work.
Brockers was keen to understand the chances of finding animal bones in the dig. A matter for further discussion in the Team.
59 bags of spoil were removed.
Jake returned the key and most of the Team retired to a local hostelry for light refreshment, taking a more direct route than they should.
End report.”
Of note was the recovery of a bone fragment from the spoil heap. it had come from one of the bags filled during Saturday’s digging activities. This find required some discussion between team members. The images below were taken by Jon Riley 03/08/2024.
