PENDLE’S HIDDEN VALLEY DIG – DAY 4 – TURBID TUESDAY

The rain continued over night and into today which had left the nearby stream looking a bit excitable.
To accommodate the weather we had a late start and finished off some of the finds work in the morning.

After lunch we deturfed an extension to the trench. Gayle spotted the Find Of The Day on the newly exposed surface. It was tiny heat crazed microlithic flint chipping.

The prevailing conditions meant the indigenous wildlife was a little reticent about showing itself. Beast Of The Day ended up being a damaged Diptera sharing our site accommodation.
Forecast for tomorrow is good and the turfs up so its time to trowel ten.
