“Two lots of field work coming up at Temple Newsam! Please let me know if
you want to join in and on which dates, and whether morning and/or
afternoon. We expect a lot of public interest, so we will need people not
working, but prepared to talk to members of the public about SLA and the
work we are doing.
*** The first one is …
Monday 26th August and, possibly, Tuesday 27th August 9:30 – 16:00
Detailed second Resisitivity survey of the “Riding School” building area.
After our initial survey in this area, and discussions with the TN staff
and David Hunter of WYAAS, it was decided to do a more detailed resistivity
survey of the building area. Hopefully we can do it in one day, but we will
continue on the Monday if we do not finish on the sunday.
We will need at least half a dozen volunteers.
Let me know if you want to take part – in any way you want – and when you
are available, and I will be back in touch in the week beginning 20th Aug
with full details.
*** The second is an actual dig!!!! So don’t all rush at once 🙂
Sunday 15th September to Wednesday 18th September 9:30 – 16:00
This will investigate the semi-circular high resitance area just outside
the house. We don’t know how long it will take us, but we have reserved
4 days. Sun 15th, Mon 16th, Tue 17th and Wed 18th September.”
