2.4.10-5.4.10
Roman Road excavations will continue the work on the Winchester Roman Road towards London. Experienced and novice excavators welcome as there is a training course available during these digs. Booking can be for any number of days, including one. Minimum unaccompanied age is 16, but younger children with an adult welcome. Publications on this and other Roman Roads will be available. Campsite and accommodation leads given.
A new site is planned on the second Centuriation Road to be surveyed, on a line with air photo streaks and a parish boundary with a substantial terrace. We will return to two previous sites. One near Farnham, where two terraces climb the sides of a narrow valley, and it may be a two-lane highway. Last year one terraces was found to be an elaborately laid roadway, with long pieces of ironstone laid at 70 depress to the roadway with their second longest sides nearly vertical. The site near Four Marks on the northern surveyed Centuriation Road we found a large ditch coinciding with a dark air photo streak, with possible remains of stonework along one side coinciding with a light line. This will be continued on the site of a possible Centuriation crossroads. Training will include exercises in layout of trenches, planning of features, section drawings, levelling and geophysics. Information on some of the advanced techniques being used to detect this Road will be given, with some exercises. SAE appreciated for postal enquiries.
Cost £60 training/10 season.

Manor Lodge, Sheffield
21.6.10-30.7.10
The Department of Archaeology, University of Sheffield, England will be offering fieldwork training at the Scheduled Ancient Monument at Manor Lodge. The focus will be on the location of the medieval and C16th hunting lodge, at amidst medieval parkland, and was only subsumed within the urban sprawl from the 1930s. One of the most well-known events in the history of Sheffield Manor Lodge was the period in the late sixteenth century when Mary Queen of Scots spent part of her captivity there. She was in the custody of George Talbot, sixth Earl of Shrewsbury and his wife, known popularly as Bess of Hardwick. Our excavations seek to illuminate this period of Sheffield's history, when the Manor Lodge was at the centre of events of national and international significance. Once the property passed into the hands of the Dukes of Norfolk the lodge fell into a ruinous state, and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries a pottery kiln was constructed at the site, coal mining occurred and workers' cottages were built amidst the ruins. All traces of this industrial activity were stripped away in the early twentieth century, and one of our aims is to throw light on this aspect of the site's history. As well as running excavation training, we are offering four specialist field schools (cost 100-150 GBP per week) designed to introduce students to various aspects of post-excavation analysis: Environmental Archaeology (28 June-2 July); Human Osteology (5-9 July); Historic Buildings (12-16 July); and Material Culture (19-23 July). We can arrange great value accommodation in university halls of residence, and there are both single en-suite rooms (21.28GBP) or double en-suite rooms (25.53GBP). Prices per night.
Cost £100 per week.

Sedgeford, Norfolk
3.7.10-13.8.10
This will be the 15th season of SHARP's excavations at Sedgeford. Our earlier focus has been centred around the Middle Saxon cemetery. However, since 2007 we have been concentrating our efforts on understanding the nearby Middle to Late Saxon settlement in Chalkpit field. It is here where we are starting to develop a picture of the extent and status of the settlement, along with its land usage and associated activity. This season we will be continuing our excavations of the structures and land boundaries that are already giving us tantalising glimpses of the importance of the site. However, in keeping with SHARP's objective of investigating the entire range of human settlement and land use within the parish of Sedgeford, this season will also see us exploring a site from the more recent past. An evaluation excavation was undertaken during the 2009 season at the First World War airfield at Sedgeford. It is our intention to spend more time here during the summer of 2010 to better understand this fascinating site and the impact of its establishment within the community. There are several ways to participate in one of Britain's most exciting and leading research and training opportunities. Experienced excavators can join us as volunteers and we are also happy to take volunteers who do not want to dig, to help with such area as finds processing and environmental archaeology. Both day, weekend and week-long courses will run throughout the season, including the excellent Basic Excavation and Recording Techniques, which enables those with no excavation experience to participate in the dig - see Courses page for complete list and dates. Non-refundable deposits of 35GBP by 1.6.10 with A5 SAE.
Cost £varied.

Piddington Roman Villa, Northamptonshire
31.7.10-30.8.10
Excavation of this large villa and underlying late Iron Age settlement, 6 miles south-east of Northampton, has been conducted by the Upper Nene Archaeological Society on a part time basis since 1979. Although this is a long-term project, it is also a rescue excavation, as the site is ploughed annually and part of the site is very close to the surface except for an area now taken out of cultivation. It is only through the kind co-operation of the farmer that damage is being minimised in the short term. Excavation is carried out on Sundays throughout the year, a week at Easter, and for several weeks during August and/or September. Please complete and return your application form, along with payment and any other details you feel may be relevant to your application. Early booking advised (by 1 July 10).

Blackden, Cheshire

Last year one terraces was found to be an elaborately laid roadway, with long pieces of ironstone laid at 70 depress to the roadway with their second longest sides nearly vertical. The site near Four Marks on the northern surveyed Centuriation Road we found a large ditch coinciding with a dark air photo streak, with possible remains of stonework along one side coinciding with a light line. This will be continued on the site of a possible Centuriation crossroads. Training will include exercises in layout of trenches, planning of features, section drawings, levelling and geophysics. Information on some of the advanced techniques being used to detect this Road will be given, with some exercises. SAE appreciated for postal enquiries.
