This session we had a problem with the hub, so it was back to basics and using flip charts. We started off the session by looking at crop marks and how to identify them. Then we learnt how these can help us identify features from the air and using Aerial photography. We saw some amazing photographs, of different sites, and realised that to get the best photographs you have to go at a certain time of day, or even when there has been a small amount of snow, to see the shadows of the features.
We followed this by looking at O.S. Maps and picking out archaeological features that we thought might show up if we were to go and do some Aerial photography. We also looked up some old place names to see if they could tell us anything about the area.
As this year we are having a ‘Past’ Port theme for each session, we finished off making these and chose our sticker for this session. Two people were awarded an extra sticker as they had been paying extra attention in the lesson. At the end of the year who ever has the most stickers and complete ‘Past’ Port will get a prize.
