Countdown to 2008 season
Hi everyone well the 2008 season is very nearly upon us. The 13 tonne excavator and dumper have been booked and our thanks go to Sussex Past for the kind and generous grants for this equipment.
Thanks to a very kind and generous grant from the CBA i am in the process of buying new excavation equipment, mattocks, wheelborrows, spades, shovels, hoes, buckets, etc etc. I have with kind permission from Mark Stroude received a shiping container and have sited it on the farm. With help (i think it was help) from Rosie Cummings we went shopping at Wickes in Brighton to buy wood, plasterboard, and lagging for the shipping container, this will be racked out and become our tool store and finds hut.
So all things going well come the 9th August we shall hit the ground running, for all of you who have not signed up yet please log on to www.culverproject.com and sign up.
The purpose of this blog is to keep everyone who is involved and those who are interested in the site up to date, so many arechaeologist turn up to sites dig for a week or two go home and never know what happened after they left, this blog shows that we do appreciate your help and it aims to keep you informed after you leave, anyway hopefully see you all soon, whatch this space it be updated every day once the dig starts.
One last massive thankyou is to Mal Woolliams who created the culver project website and this blog, if you wants to contact him about furture websites please ask and i’ll put you in touch
