Binchester 2013: Days 9-10

Apologies for the lack of blog entry yesterday - normal service has been resumed. We've had two busy days on site. In Trench 1, we've already nearly reached the stage where the area within the new wall is at the same level as the interior of the main barrack block. Just a little bit more cleaning and we're there. In the pit, Karen and Fabian are still edge chasing- once again, things seem to be getting a little more complicated in the pit that just keeps on giving... Yesterday, it produced a rather fine copper alloy bell! We've also seen fantastic progress in the new rampart building- which we'd barely started on last week. It is now all but completed- with the trough and the flagstone floor looking particularly fine. Fired up by our success we've had a poke around the remains of the interval tower further west along this rampart in the hope of finding more structures, but to no avail. Next week, we may take another look at the corner tower- although this will involve trying to move some large flagstones we gave up on last year. In Trench 2, it is looking like we may nearly have bottomed the corridor- finally coming down onto a hard (ish) floor surface, if not the flagstones we were expecting. The logistics of getting people and spoil in and out of this area are getting complicated- we're now relying on a ladder, with the ad hoc stairs coming out shortly. It is salutary to compare the depth in this room with that in the larger adjacent room- if its the same depth, we still have a serious bit of earth moving to do! However, we are still making good progress here; although much of this is inevitably focused on yet more stone surfaces. At the end of play on Friday we have had a couple of what looks like glass making or recycling debris, including glass seemingly bonded onto bits of pot (which at first we thought might have been glazed pot, which gave is a panic...). In the post-pad building, there has been plenty of planning and recording and now we are working on the interior again. It is clear that there are two, if not, three, phases to this structure, which is then overlain by a layer of stones that spills down into the main building. Nice to see clear evidence of stratigraphy and phasing. Finds this week included some nice pins and a possible stylus.

  1. My name is Antonio Jefferson Cole, I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is a pleasure for me to write this testimony about how I got healed from genital herpes 12 hours ago. I have read so many comments from some people who have been cured of HIV by Dr. Ekpiku, but I never believed them. I was hurt and depressed, so I was very curious and wanted to try Dr. Ekpiku, so I contacted him on his email Ekpikuspellhomeofgrace@gmail.com when I get in touch with him, he assured me 100% that it will heal me, I begged Him to help me. My treatment was a great success, he healed me as he promised. He sent me his medication and asked me to go for check-up after 2 weeks of taking the medication. I agree with him, I took this medication and went to the check-up after 2 month, to my greatest surprise my result was negative after treatment, I am really happy that I am healed and healthy again. I waited for four months to make sure I was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test today and was still negative Herpes, so I think its time I tell someone out there with Herpes HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV, HPV, hepatitis B, diabetes, cancer and so on, Dr. Ekpiku in the email: Ekpikuspellhomeofgrace@hotmail.com . Your phone number is +2348073673757, He is also on whats app. I completely understand how you can feel skeptical about it, because it happened to me, it can be expensive for you, but I'm telling you now that there is a cure for these diseases and I am a living witness firsthand.or you can email me on antoniojeffersoncole@gmail.com for any assistance.

  4. Natural herbs have cured so many illness that drugs and injection cant cure. I''ve seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people lives. i read testimonies online how they were cured of herpes, HIV, diabetics, cancer etc by Dr. Willams herbal medicine, so i decided to contact him because i know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with herpes for the past 9 months but Dr. Willams cured me with his herbs and i referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes but they were cured too. Contact Dr. Willams via email on: dr.harrissonwillams@aol.com Whatsap no: +1 (213) 349-2159.

  5. i have been suffering from a deadly disease (Hsv) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lIot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how Dr Onokun helped someone in curing his (Hsv) herpes disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dronokunherbalcure@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dronokunherbalcure@gmail.com
