Abstract: |
Archaeological test pitting was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. as part of a community out-reach project in collaboration with the Friends of East Portlemouth Church. Four c.1x1m test pits were excavated on land to the rear of Stokenham Primary School by pupils, monitored and directed by professional archaeologists and a teacher from the school. This followed the methodology pioneered and outlined by the CORS (Currently Occupied Rural Settlements) project. The test pits were located in respect of the local landscape and natural topography and foliage once the turf was removed the pits were excavated by hand by the children in c.0.1m spits. No archaeological features were discovered and only a small number of finds were recovered. However, these did cover an interestingly broad date range. The finds have all been returned to the school. |
