Site Event/Activity record ESF25835 - Excavations 2013, Barber's Point, Friston

Excavations in 2013 represent the fourth and final part of the archaeological investigations on the River Alde. The main objective was to focus on uncovering the remaining area of the cemetery and the relationship between the burials and the surrounding enclosure ditches revealed in previous excavations. Touching the Tide (a Heritage Lottery Fund Landscape Partnership Scheme) was a major supporter of the 2013 excavations which were run as a training dig with volunteers from ADLHS being supervised and trained by SCCAS staff. The project ran for 3 weeks with the middle week dedicated to school visits and the active participation of pupils working on site. The 2013 excavations were designed to uncover the rest of the saxon burials. The excavation area was approx 290sqm (S1).
