  • Introduction: Intertidal Zone and Tides
    Introduction: Intertidal zone and tides People have been populating and using the coast and intertidal zone as a resource since prehistoric times. As a consequence, there are many different kinds of archaeological features to explore in the intertidal and coastal zone. Unlike terrestrial sites, the archaeology in the intertidal zone is not made up of layers; features from prehistory and the modern day can be found on the same horizon, adjacent to each other but separated by thousands of years in date. In addition, the anaerobic conditions created in the intertidal zone mean that finds and features which usually don’t survive, frequently do survive, such as Bronze Age sewn-plank boats and wooden trackways. This booklet of information and activity ideas has been created by Megan Clement from the Heritage Lottery Funded Coastal and Intertidal Zone Archaeological Network (www.citizan.org.uk ) to support the 2017 Young Archaeologists’ Club Leaders’ Weekend. It provides inspiration to help you explore the rich archaeology of the coastal and intertidal zone with groups of young people. Intertidal zone The intertidal zone is the part of the foreshore which gets covered by the sea at high tide and is uncovered at low tide. The area which makes up the intertidal zone can vary dramatically in size. The height of the tide varies too. The Severn Estuary for instance has the largest tidal range in the UK (and the second largest in the world) at 14m. The tidal range is the name given to the difference in the height of the water between low tide and high tide.

  • Y7 Kb 3 Castles
    Year 7 Knowledge sheet: Castles Key content What you need to know Key terms Change and continuity: Some things that changes and some things that stay the same (continuity) Portcullis: gate made of iron Keep: the strongest and tallest place on a castle Motte: mound of earth, on top of which the keep was built Bailey: courtyard where the buildings stood Moat: deep ditch around the castle Curtain wall: the stone wall built around a castle Barbican: gatehouse Motte and Bailey Castles ❖ Motte and bailey castles appeared in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. ❖ Motte and bailey castles were a common feature in England by the death of William the Conqueror in 1087. ❖ Their construction was the start of what was to become a massive castle building programme in England and Wales. Early castles were made of wood however they could burn and be chopped down and were relatively easy to attack. From about 1070 some castles started to be made out of stone for strength. Square Keep ❖ The Tower was founded by William the Conqueror towards the end of the 1066. ❖ The White Tower was constructed in 1078. The White Tower is an example of a keep. ❖ Richard the Lionheart added to the castle in the 12th century and Edward I added the outer ward in the 13th century. ❖ The layout of the Tower of London has remained pretty much unchanged since Concentric Castles Concentric castles were built with several walls of decreasing heights, so soldiers could shoot attackers more effectively. The idea was brought back by knights fighting in the Holy Land.

  • Defensive Structures
    Defensive Structures Defensive Structures Bastion (Wikipedia) A bastion is a structure projecting outward from the main enclosure of a fortification, situated in both corners of a straight wall (termed curtain), with the shape of a sharp point, facilitating active defense against assaulting troops. It allows the defenders of the fort to cover adjacent bastions and curtains with defensive fire. The bastion was designed to offer a full range on which to attack oncoming troops. Previous fortifications were of little use within a certain range. The bastion solved this problem. By using cannon to cover the curtain side of the wall, the forward cannon could concentrate on oncoming targets. Types Various types of bastions have been used throughout history. Solid bastions are those that are filled up entirely, and have the ground even with the height of the rampart, without any empty space towards the center. Void or hollow bastions are those that have a rampart, or parapet, only around their flanks and faces, so that a void space is left towards the center. The ground is so low, that if the rampart is taken, no retrenchment can be made in the center, but what will lie under the fire of the besieged. A flat bastion is one built in the middle of a courtain, or enclosed court, when the court is too large to be defended by the bastions at its extremes. The term is also used of bastions built on a right line. A cut bastion is that which has a re-entering angle at the point. It was sometimes also called bastion with a tenaille.
