Fieldwalking Finds at Euston Estate

In April, 60 local volunteers, including the BFER team, took part in three days of fieldwalking and surface finds collection at Euston Estate. Each session started with a brief introduction to the area by Faye Minter (Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service) and a basic artefact identification training session from Cotswold Archaeology (Suffolk Office).

Worked flint, heat altered flint, pottery, ceramic building material, slag (metal working waste) and slate tile were recovered – all systematically hand collected from the surface of the ploughsoil. Now, the team at Cotswold Archaeology have finished their report on the finds and you can read all the details on the Heritage Suffolk website: Fieldwalking at Euston
