Roll call of 1999 excavation team |
1999 ExcavationsIn April 1999 the project returned to 10 rue Delattre. Team size was down but this was more than made up for by the enthusiasm of the diggers. The team was made up of Jon Price, Andy Robertshaw, Alastair Fraser, Gervaise Webb, and Jasper Richmond.The trench was excavated even further south for another four meters revealing that the brick floor continued along the whole length exposed. End of war equipment dumping revealed a huge assemblage of .303 rounds, and on the floor of the trench the most stereotypical find yet: the remains of a mouth organ. Examination of new (old!) aerial photography appeared to indicate a large shell or bomb crater at the north of the site, just where we were having difficulty detecting sensible stratigraphy. Preliminary field walking (well strolling) by Alastair started to turn up traces of other trench features picked up on the APs. |
