Title

24. VV2019 Trench A Finds recording and retrieval

Description

A total of 145 finds were retrieved from the excavation of Trench A during the campaign of 2019. Of these, 63 finds (43%) were metal detection finds retrieved in a survey area surrounding Trench A (can we visualize this area and the finds?). Metal detection was conducted by Jonas Paulsson (Kula AB) using a high-frequency detection head (HF-coil). The position of the metal detection finds was recorded by total station survey.

Of the 82 (57%) finds retrieved by excavation within the contexts of Trench A, almost half (34 finds) were recorded in situ by IBM. The position of these finds was calculated from the 3D models produced. 45 finds were collected by handpicking during excavation of contexts and only 3 finds were retrieved by sieving. 

The metal detection finds consisted mostly of Cu-alloy (51 finds), followed by precious metals (11) and a single recorded find of slag (VV2019_H3 Link).

 The finds retrieved from the excavation of contexts within Trench  A consisted of  Cu-alloy fragments and objects (20 finds), daub fragments (15 finds), burnt bone (13 finds), glass shards (10 finds), ceramic sherd (5 finds), iron fragments (4 finds), burnt flint (3 finds) and resin fragments (2 finds).  In addition, 1 piece of worked quartz was also retrieved.

6 gold foil figures and 1 gold ring were recorded in situ. 7 gold foil figures and 1 gold ring were retrieved by metal detection. In addition, 1 gold foil figure and 1 gold ring were retrieved from sieving.
