Salisbury Development Project Yields Range of Artifacts
Friday, September 2, 2016
SALISBURY, ENGLAND—The Salisbury Journal reports that development in the city center has uncovered artifacts and features ranging from the medieval period through the Victorian age. The finds include medieval building foundations, a Tudor kiln, a sixteenth-century well, and silver coins from the Tudor period. Archaeologists also recovered a clasp or pin made of polished bone. “It was a nice surprise that so much of what we found has survived, considering all of the development on the site that’s gone on in the modern period,” said Ray Kennedy of Cotswold Archaeology. To read about another site in southern England, go to "The Many Lives of an English Manor House."
