Archaeology 2006

Kaman-Kale Hoyuk. Digging on a grand scale. Late Chalcolithic to Ottoman mound in Central Turkey. Base of the Deep Trench is 12m down.



18 beautiful pots found in the baulk of the South sector. After 2 weeks of painstaking, mindnumbing digging and drawing of the 2 5x1m baulks we made the find of the season.

The real work. Archaeobotany in practise. Floating 1500+ litres of soil with Bronwyn in the Japanese garden. The tank - where we spent so many peaceful days, playing in the mud while watching the seeds float by.

Adventures!

Took time out from Sheffield with two mates and drove across to the Coast - Whitby and Scarborough. Two amazingly contrasting sea side towns to the east of the Yorkshire Moors. It's a beautiful country.

The church in front of the Abbey where Bram Stoker based some of Dracula

Whitby Abbey, beautiful location.

Micheal and Ryan - as always i was taking way too many pictures.
Whitby itself. Great fish and chips. There is a Captain Cook theme to the village. He worked here prior to finding Oz.
Scarborough. The tacky English seaside with bright lights and beeping things. We also got snowed on here by detergent sprayed out from a big cannon in a winter market.

A casino for children.
