A rather lovely thumbnail scraper from my pit this week!

Crawling around in a Maize field this afternoon (with permission!) I came upon this distinctive expedient scraper.

This week I began excavating my first feature & getting it on the plan! This pit is really beginning to take shape now the baulk has finally gone. Really pleased I spotted the clay lining too.

A core, a few tors, carnivorous native plants, foals & more. Dartmoor nearly has it all!

This weekend, after years of fieldwalking, I finally excavated my very first lithic! This lovely hammerstone with its distinctive iron stained cortex was a welcome sight in my baulk.
