Excavating House 1
Trowelling the floor level of House 1 at Leskernick Bronze Age settlement, Bodmin Moor, UK. House 1 was excavated in 1999 by the UCL Institute of Archaeology Bronze Age Settlements and Landscapes of Bodmin Moor Project. The different tones of the trowelled surface visible in the photograph (pale=clean weathered granite detritus [rab]; dark=intruded developed soil and humic material) are the result of animal burrowing. The row of stones behind the excavators belongs to the house wall. House 1 produced both Middle Bronze Age and Late Bronze Age dates. The excavation, never published in full, is discussed in Barbara Bender, Sue Hamilton and Chris Tilley's book "Stone Worlds" (p. 161–72) and in my own article "Excavating on the Moor", available on the Internet Archive (archive.org/details/asrp1excavatingonthemoor) and Researchgate (www.researchgate.net/publication/264974673), where this photo first appeared. The excavators' project diaries are currently being uploaded on the Internet Archive (archive.org/search.php?query=the+unpublished+leskernick+d...)
