Conditions:- warm, occasions showers, windy.
Day three already 
Sam’s feature has been nicely cleaned and recorded. Just a matter of removing the stones from it. I stupidly volunteer to help remove one of the stones before setting eyes on it. Well, it is slightly larger than the planet Mercury 
and I was rather pleased to hear that it would probably be better left where it was.
As if I didn’t have enough to do anyway.
Unfortunatly the Total Station, used for 3D recording of small finds was on the blink, or rather the battery charger for it was. So instead of recording all small finds immediatly, we had to white tag the finds in the area until we could get the Total Station batteries charged.
As I’ve hinted 😀 the area I’m working in has produced proportionally more small finds and the white finds tags are making it increasingly difficult to work the area. Because we are 3D’ing we’ve got white tags on little pillars of soil while we try to work around them. Still it didn’t stop me finding more glass, loads of pot – including part of the Hippocamp (“My Little Pony”) figured imitation Samian ware, fine plain real Samian, loads of nails (now over 100 out of our small area), possible fine silver metalwork, “run-off” sprue from lead casting, and copper alloy pin “thing” possibly attached to leather or wood (the context [5021] is very damp and ideal for preserving organic matter) This find caused Jörn (small finds specialist) to rush it back to Portsmouth to the labs for analysis.
So all in all a very rewarding day – apart from my “trouser moment”.
Advice to anyone on a dig – always pack a spare pair of trousers or like I do live only 50 metres from the site. I would not have liked to carry on the way they were split. The girls would have been frightened and the boys would have felt inadequate, and not to mention the health and safety aspect of the danger of tripping over things in the trench
