Three pieces of pottery from beneath the sludge.

Field sampling with the pXRF at Newstead.

A piece of Chinese pottery buried in the gravels of the river bank.

In April we returned to the banks of the Loddon River at Newstead.  While we were doing our sampling we found three pieces of pottery in the gravels beneath two metres of sludge.  One piece of pottery is English and the other two are from Chinese food containers.  They probably came down the river from the Chinese camp at Guildford.
