The Discovery of the Past

The discovery of the past is a thrilling experience, especially when it involves uncovering artifacts that have been hidden for centuries. The team at Digging History UK, a group of enthusiastic archaeologists and volunteers, was thrilled to have the opportunity to explore a new site in Chatteris, a small town in Cambridgeshire, England. The team was eager to see what secrets the land would reveal, and their excitement was soon justified.

The Initial Findings

The team’s first hour of excavation was a revelation. Within the first hour, they uncovered a significant number of silver medieval coins, which sparked a flurry of excitement among the team. These coins, which date back to the 12th century, provided a glimpse into the lives of the people who lived in the area during that time period. The coins were found in a layer of soil that was likely deposited during the medieval period, and their presence suggested that the site had been used for some sort of activity or ritual. The coins were found in a variety of denominations, including pennies, groats, and farthings. The coins were made of silver and featured intricate designs and markings.
