A
Brecon Beacons YAC has an amazing opportunity for budding (崭露头角的)
archaeologists (考古学家) of all ages, in Sunderland in Tyne and Wear. Thanks to funding
from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be
investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.
Romans?
“The site is a bit of a mystery”, Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said. “There is a
very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited. Geophysicists (地质物理学家) failed to find anything related to the cropmark. There is anecdotal (趣闻的)
evidence of Roman material being found, but nothing is officially recorded. We hope to
finally answer the question of what is in this field, during the two weeks on site. Is there
evidence of any Roman occupation on the site? Can you help us find out?
Get involved
This is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial
trenching (small hand-dug test pits for children). No experience is necessary, training will be
provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong, and all equipment will
be provided. Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish, but they do need
to book a place. For more information, and to book your place, please contact Norman
Kirtlan at sunderlandforgottenstones@gmail.com.
