  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION THE GROUP When I decided to set up DDCAG I was determined that this was not to be a hobby society. The word ‘community’ in our title indicated that our main aim was to engage the people in our excavations wherever we found ourselves working on archaeological sites. It wasn’t just my heritage or the groups, it was everyone’s, especially the people who found themselves living in the same area, on the same land, as those that lived there hundreds and thousands of years before them. Many of the group’s early members came from my adult education classes in archaeology, but that was only the nucleus as we rapidly increased in numbers by going to various local events with our table and various artefacts I had collected for teaching, spreading the word about Dorset archaeology. As with many such groups luck plays a part in kick-starting what can be a long process of building membership and trying to find a project that will stimulate the interest of existing and future members. I was approached in my village cafe by an acquaintance that had heard of the group and suggested that we could have a look at a brick structure on the hill, as no one could remember what its function had been or how old it was. So this became our first project. It gave me an opportunity to teach some basic excavation techniques on a site, I believed, would not produce much in the way of real archaeology. But as we worked we found that the structure was attached to a much larger building with chalk and flint foundations surviving under the large mound of rubble, one that had two rooms, one of which was half cobbled.

  • The Nether Compton Roman Coin Hoard in Its Archaeological Context
    The Nether Compton Roman coin hoard in its archaeological context. John Oswin Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society 2011 i The Nether Compton Roman coin hoard in its archaeological context. John Oswin Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society © 2011 ii Abstract A hoard of some 22,500 Roman coins was unearthed in a field in Nether Compton parish in Dorset by a member of the Yeovil Metal Detector Club in 1989. It was not treasure trove under the rules then current. It remained in Dorset County Museum, Dorchester, without the resources to study it for a number of years before it was retrieved, broken up and sold, so it was never fully analysed. There was no indication of archaeological remains in the field where it was found, although there were unsubstantiated rumours of there being a Roman villa in the field to the west. A geophysical survey was instigated by a village resident and carried out by the Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society between 2009 and 2011, and this indicated significant Roman and possible pre-Roman activity in these two fields. An interim report was circulated in 2009, now superceded by this report. In memory of Denis Lansdell, a good and generous friend and mentor. iii Acknowledgements I would like to dedicate this survey to the memory of Denis Lansdell, a very good friend of mine, who lived in the village for a few years before his death in 1994. The work was instigated and supported by Elizabeth Adam of Nether Compton and her daughter Catherine. I acknowledge gratefully the opportunity to use the geophysical equipment, which belongs to the Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society.
