Viggen Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 An iron Age settlement discovered on the site of the new Richard Lander School at Threemilestone has yielded a number of finds including pottery wine vessels and 10 roundhouses. Pottery recovered from the postholes and roundhouse ditches includes elaborately decorated wares and fragments of amphora, used for transporting wine and imported from Italy, most likely during the 1st or 2nd centuries BC. The amphora was imported before the Roman invasion of Britain (43 AD) and is extremely rare in Cornwall. full article at This is Cornwall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amywareing Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Hi, i worked on this site for two weeks during the summer and i was the one that discovered and excavated the complete amphora rim that has been heavily publicised as it is the rarest to be found in cornwall to the present date. I was also photographed in the British Archaeology journal as a result. I have infomation and photos concerning the dig if anyone would like any infomation.
