The archaeological water dredge removing the sand from the hand fanning
Another four in Sq: Y2
Great care was to uncover them without letting the heavy iron bars damaging any other artefacts
A DSMB is used to take the weight of one of the iron bars
More iron bars are found deeper in the stratigraphy
The Team documents the position of the bars while the dredge keeps the visability
As the iron bars are documented they are removed and stacked on top of the starboard large iron ballast concretion
More are stacked
The large and small are stacked in order
