\u00a0A 9-12th century bronze pin has already been\u00a0unearthed on the site but unfortunately we were not so lucky, although we did find some handmade pottery and were able to\u00a0make out\u00a0fingerprints\u00a0left by the\u00a0potter in the clay. The children also found several animal teeth, nails, flint and lots of very large stones.<\/p>\n
