Description
Thirteen 1m2 test pits were excavated in Blythburgh in April 2017 by 47 Year 8 and 9 students from Benjamin Britten School, Bungay High School, Hobart High School, Sir John Lemen High School and Ormiston Denes Academy. The test pitting was part of the Independent Learning Archaeology Field School (ILAFS) programme. 2017 was the first year of excavations in Blythburgh and the test pits were spread across the settlement. Fragments of anglo-saxon pottery were found in test pit BLY/17/8, BLY/17/9 in the south and BLY/17/13 (S1) (Waiting for full report see https://www.access.arch.cam.ac.uk/reports/suffolk/blythburgh/2017).
