What things do you most often find on your digs? Grace Rawlinson (7)

It depends on the date of the site that you are digging and also what type of site it is. If it’s a Neolithic (late Stone Age) site, and especially one around where I live in Dorset, then the most common find is going to be pieces of worked flint. But in the medieval chapel that we are using as our training dig in the summer we find more pieces of pottery and fragments of human bones than anything else. I suppose of you count them up then over the years I have found more flints than anything else.
