Now that we have finished washing the finds (A huge thank you to all of you who have been involved with the finds washing!) they need to be sorted ready to be sent off to the relevant experts.

This process involves going through the finds from each layer, recording them on a basic form (including any notes or observations you would like to add such as marks on bones) and separating the finds into categories such as bone, pottery, charcoal, metal, clay pipe etc. We also take photos of the finds at this stage.

New volunteers including those who didn't take part in the excavations are more than welcome to come along! All training and equipment is provided, just bring lunch.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch. Children are welcome to this activity but must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

This activity has limited places so please contact Jo: jo@archeox.net or archaeology.east.oxford@googlemail.com to request a place
