Great memories from that dig. Its great that some of the boats are now ready to go on display.

One cool thing about living in Cambs is that you do get to meet some of the local clients in very lovely historical settings

Had a great time (as a spectator) with @archaeochris on the Must Farm workshop run by @ancientcraftuk and @prehistoric_jewellery last weekend. I also made a friend!

Great book, with my illustration commissioned by the author on the front cover! https://t.co/fi0zOOgG3v

Time to ask the classic question. Which Roman ceramic face are you?

This incredible Saxon horse burial was found during excavations at the @TarmacLtd Broom South Quarry. The horse was facing west, would have stood 143-147cm at its shoulder and been aged between 15-20 when it died. Buried with it were a whetstone, a pin, and a fragmented bird

Excavations at the @TarmacLtd Broom South Quarry uncovered this nearly complete iron comb from the layers inside a Saxon sunken featured building. The coarseness of the comb’s teeth suggest that it may have been used in textile production.

This photo shows one of the Early Saxon sunken featured buildings from the @TarmacLtd Broom South Quarry. An amazing 1442 sherds of pottery and 9402 fragments of animal bone were found within the 16 structures, alongside worked stone, fired clay and glass.

This beautiful Saxon double-sided composite bone comb was found during excavations at the @TarmacLtd Broom South Quarry. Decorated with a heart-shaped cut out across the edge, the comb is heavily worn and was found in a sunken featured building along with animal bone and two bone

During 2023’s excavations at the @TarmacLtd Broom South Quarry we found 16 Early Saxon sunken featured buildings. The buildings, like the one pictured, form part of a settlement spread out along the edge of the floodplain of the River Ivel.

Occasionally, some of our finds give us an insight into who might have made them. This complete Early Saxon thumb-pot, from the @TarmacLtd Broom South Quarry, is decorated with pinch bosses that are so small they were probably made by the fingers of a child.

Not all our small finds are small, as this complete upper rotary quern shows. Found in a pit on an excavation at the @TarmacLtd Broom South Quarry, this quern is made from sandstone and has two channels cut into the grinding surface for mounting handles.

It’s always a great feeling when we can refit sherds together, like this Middle Iron Age Scored Ware pot. Found at the @TarmacLtd Broom South Quarry, these sherds could be refitted to create around 30% of the original vessel with its distinctive, erratic scored patterns.

Inside a “D-shaped” enclosure at the @TarmacLtd Broom Quarry South we worked on this prehistoric roundhouse that had two pits containing small quantities of Middle Iron Age pottery in its interior. The archaeology of the roundhouse suggests that it had a single phase of

We were very excited to find this fantastic base of a Middle Iron Age pot at @TarmacLtd's Broom South Quarry. With a La Tène-style decoration consisting of three blank circles with incised lines and an outer line, this is an unusual find.

One area of archaeology at @TarmacLtd's Broom South Quarry involved a series of Middle Iron Age enclosures, including a large “D-shaped” enclosure with a roundhouse. This enclosure’s ditch had been recut six times, suggesting it was used for a long time.

These Beaker pot sherds came from a pit at @TarmacLtd's Broom South Quarry. The feature was also able to tell us more about the landscape during the Early Bronze Age. Samples revealed over 100 charcoal fragments including oak, ash & field maple and charred cereal grains of

These five Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged flint arrowheads were discovered in a single pit at @TarmacLtd Broom South Quarry. Found with 32 sherds of decorated Beaker ware, it seems the arrowheads had been deliberately deposited in the pit together.

During earlier work at @TarmacLtd Broom South Quarry a single pit produced a fascinating collection of Early Bronze Age pottery. A total of 54 sherds of finely decorated and rusticated vessels, typically non-funerary Beaker Ware, were found in a single fill.

This polished edge blade-knife was one of the most exciting finds from @TarmacLtd Broom Quarry South. This is a rare artefact, typically associated with the Middle Neolithic, but interestingly this example was found in an Early Neolithic context in a fill of a circular pit.
