I'm excited to share the dates for the long-awaited excavation of selected areas of King Arthur's Hall, Bodmin Moor. Currently we don't know if it is actually a prehistoric site so this is a really important moment.
The organiser is Natalie Haly, Monumental Improvement Project Manager, Cornwall AONB along with the Timeseekers local archaeology group. They hope to include OSL (optical) dating which as at Waun Mawn and other sites gives a good chance to get a date from the covered soil even without dateable organic material
Here are the dates for the planned excavation
15 September – Excavation commences with trench digging and test pit set up
16 September – Educational activity day for students and adult education groups
17 September – Family focused activity day
24 September – Specialist Sampling
25 September – backfilling and end of excavation ends
There will be volunteers from TimeSeekers helping out and I should think there are still openings for more volunteers via http://www.cornwallaonb.org.uk.
