I've reached the bottle stage of my hotel assemblage - which, to be honest, is not the most interesting - it's basically 100s of fragments of black beer bottles. But then there was this little gem to brighten up my afternoon! -K
Continuing with my hotel story, but moving onto the buildings archaeology. This hotel (built in the early 1860s) had a basement - basements were pretty unusual in 19th century Christchurch, due to the high water table. This basement was quite large, with brick and stone walls. And with these curious structures - this was the most complete of them, but there were two or three more of them. Any suggestions for what these might have been for? -K
It's conference time again. - J.
