Duncan - Day 16

3/09/09

The morning was spent uploading the photos taken yesterday of the lithics and organising them by types such as worked flints and burnt flints. To identify burnt flints for example i would look for cracks, rough texture and also presence of white or brown colour on the stone.

Later on I went back to the cold store and photographed the contents of most of the boxes containing samples from the bouldnor clif site. These ranged from clay, soil and sediment samples to lithics, wood and shell fragments. This was to help provide a visual aid to allow the trust to understand what they had stored away and at what status of being analysed these samples were at. Some still required sieving and cleaning, others needed organisng and further preservation.
