CHANGE OF PROGRAMME -Simon Stevens - The Stiances Archaeological Project

The Stiances Archaeological Project was set up in 2010 and offers primary school children from the village of Newick in East Sussex an opportunity to take part in an archaeological dig close to home. Documentary and cartographic evidence had shown the presence of a former farm complex at the site, but enthusiastic test-pit digging by the kids and their helpers has revealed not only medieval and post-medieval material, but evidence of activity dating back as far as the Mesolithic.
