Georgia and Danni\u2019s Iron Age ditch was also the first to be photographed. Johanna had to douse her feature\/pit with water just to make it out in the baked clay \u2013 it was full of charcoal but sadly no artefacts.<\/p>\n<p>Ski dropped by this morning to metal-detect the spoil heaps and found a couple of pieces of pottery and a piece of lead. James brought out his new toy a Bartington MS3 magnetic susceptibility meter and with Cubby\u2019s help measured the magnetic susceptibility of the soil in and around the features on the south side of Trench C. We hope this technique will help us to identify features in the very dry subsoil.<\/p>\n<p>The big discovery of the day was made by Lucy and Andy &#8211; our biggest sherd of Iron Age pottery so far.
