Rampton 2010

Looking for clues to the history of Rampton in 2010 with our shiny new pink bucketsThe Rampton 2010 dig was held on the weekend of the 12th and 13th of November.  The FEAG committee had contacted members about test pitting in their village and had a positive response.  The members were keen for test pits to be dug in their gardens to see what would be found.

All previous test pitting projects had been run with the help of Carenza Lewis from Cambridge University.  This was the first time FEAG had been let loose to run a community test pitting project by themselves.  FEAG had recently been awarded a grant to purchase the equipment needed to excavate a number of test pits.  So this was the chance to put our shiny new gear, including pink buckets, to the test.

A keen group of excavators meet on the morning of the 12th for a quick briefing session and to be allocated to a garden.  In total four pits were dug.  Two were in the same garden and the other two at different locations in the village. 

Over the two days the weather held and nearly all of the test pits went down to natural, which wasn’t very deep in some locations.  Finds and forms were collected and everyone eagerly awaits the dating of the finds.
