Excavations with Worthing Archaeological Society

The project is extremely thankful to Worthing Archaeological Society who participated in fieldwork at the Valdoe during late March and early April. Under the daily supervision of Pat Jones (Sussex University) Jill, Pete, Bob, Keith and the rest of the team quickly got to grips with deep Pleistocene excavation, hours of daily bailing-out and metres of largely barren geology with good humour and professionalism. The reward for their toil was the discovery of in-situ material within the newly identified palaeolandsurface and the first chance anyone has had to see and excavate an extensive area of the Boxgrove palaeolandsurface in almost a decade.After the success of this field season, we hope to collaborate with Worthing Archaeological Society on future projects.
