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). The current report provides the results of the second season of archaeological investigation of a 3.7ha field called Little Stiances, located at Sharpsbridge Lane, Newick, East Sussex. This work was carried out in June 2013. Geophysical and topographic surveys carried out in 2010 confirmed the location of a 'lost' cottage known from cartographic sources and allowed the targeting of test-pits at that location both in 2010 and during the second season of investigation in 2013. This year the 'Cottage Site' again produced a range of finds reflecting the occupation of buildings in that part of the field mostly dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Finds ranged from pottery, glass and clay pipes to the bricks and tiles from demolished building(s), to more 'personal' artefacts such as the remains of a knife, a fork and a number of decorated buttons. Some of the character of the interior of the building(s) is shown by the survival of door fittings, and part of a decorative metal plate, probably from the cooking range. Peculiarly the excavation this year also yielded metalwork elements from a number of different sizes of shoe, and the remains of part of a leather boot, complete with brass eyelets. Investigation of a smaller 'House Platform' adjacent to a sunken lane (both identified during the topographical survey in 2010) uncovered evidence of medieval activity represented by a small assemblage of 13th to 15th century pottery. Discovery of Mesolithic/Early Neolithic flintwork highlights the use of the general area by Hunter/Gatherers stretching the site's chronology back into prehistory.
