Over the course of two fun, filled Sundays, the ladies from the Sussex School of Archaeology (SSA) and the Sussex Archaeological Society (SAS) (and myself) reconstructed and created several pieces of Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman pottery. The lighter coloured clay came from the Isfield site in East Sussex and is to be fired and tested to see if the Iron Age pottery that we found there during our excavations was indeed of a local origin.

Pounding out some fire-cracked flint to add to the clay for inclusions.
The firing finally occurred on Sept. 15th, where we built a small bonfire covered with wet hay. Unfortunately, the firing involved several small explosions of which some pottery may have completely shattered. Details will be known later on this week. |
