The excavation earlier this year answered a number of questions, but also cast doubt on our initial thoughts on the site. Therefore we are returning in August to hopefully and finally understand the enclosure excavated by WAS in 2006 and Easter 2016.
The focus of Friday activities is on keeping our skills going and enjoying being out in the open air.
Recent activities have included doing resistivity among the thistles on Slindon Field 20 and res and magnetometry on a field in Sompting. There will be surveying done before the Goblestubbs dig, of course. We've been cleaning up a local limekiln, ready for the professionals to take over.
On a rainy Sunday morning (June 12th) a cheery group of Worthing Archaeological Society members met in the car park at Amberley Museum and Heritage Centre for an organised tour of the Amberley Lime Kilns and a Chalk to Lime talk. This visit was a follow-up from the 2 -year project and excavation of the Lime Kiln site in Lambleys Lane and the subsequent report and illustrated lecture delivered by Connie, Liz and Theresa in April. 19 members of the society were met in the car park by Chris Kirk our guide
