Abstract: |
A Community Archaeology project was organised under the auspices of Archaeology South-East (ASE), a division of University College London Centre for Applied Archaeology (UCLCAA). A 3.7ha field called Little Stiances, Sharpsbridge Lane, Newick, East Sussex was investigated using a number of archaeological techniques including geophysical prospection, topographical survey and the manual excavation of test-pits. There was also a public Open Day. The geophysical and topographic surveys confirmed the location of a cottage known from cartographic sources and allowed the targeting of test-pits at that location. Finds from the test-pits included pottery dating from the 15th to the 19th centuries, large quantities of brick and tile from the cottage itself and an assortment of other artefacts, including a group of datable clay pipes and a scatter of prehistoric flintwork. Finds of particular interest to the children included a half penny of George III (dated 1770-5), Victorian clay marble and a heavily corroded padlock. The topographical survey of the entire field revealed a range of earthworks including enclosures and trackways, and the possible location of other buildings. |
