Today I spent researching the site of Bouldnor Cliff which is off the north-west coast of the Isle of Wight. The site is believed to be a Mesolithic landscape (about 8,000 years ago) and has supplied many exciting finds including the oldest piece of string in Britain, around 11cm long. It is speculated this may be the oldest boat building site in Britain. Later I visited with Caroline an archaeological dig in west Amesbury, Wiltshire. This wasa site run by the Stonehenge Riverside Project which is a 10 year project that started digging in 2006 with 2009 being the last dig year. This was a great opportunity to see a dig in full flow and see samples fresh out of the trench.
