Day two of the excavation at Kentish Town School found the students busy digging in the subsoil, sieving the soil, and washing their finds. Their teamwork, energy, and enthusiasm for the project was infectious--perhaps the sunshine and biscuits helped! The plot thickened as teams found more bone fragments to be identified, along with coins, glass, brick, pottery shards, and seashells. Teams learned to use a level, trowel, and other tools of the trade, and had a go at labelling and drawing artefacts. In addition, students demonstrated confidence in identifying interesting finds (for example: flints and brick) and deciding which objects could go be thrown back into the pit.
