Our Tyneside team recently excavated a unique prehistoric cemetery in Northumberland which contained seven shaft grave burial pits, each of which is thought to have been marked by a wooden post. These types of grave are unusual and these are some of the first known in northern England.

With archaeology you might think about the artefacts we uncover, rather than the ground around them. Yet did you know that taking soil samples can be just as exciting and important a contribution to the archaeological record of the site — plus they can sometimes throw up surprises!

Finding a perfectly preserved acorn hidden in a peat deposit is surely at the top of every geoarchaeologist’s bucket list, and that’s exactly what our geoarchaeologist found last week!

This ancient acorn was found in a peat core sample for dateable organic material from the Northumberland Cheviots.
