Yesterday we had a visit from Professor Thomas. He told us about what he found in Mr Kerr's field. They had found pottery. His job is an archaeologist. He came to look for pottery and posts and pieces of bones. There was a pot. Professor Thomas said it might have been used for special occasions, like for drink and food. It would have been about one metre long. It is Groove Ware.

 Yesterday Professor Thomas came to tell us about Drochduill. He told us a lot, some how 6000 years ago and still today Drochduill means a place without a view and how the story begins 6000 years ago.
 The new Stone age had begun when there were only caves to live in and you had to hunt for your food. The animals you ate were wild, there were no farm animals, no cows, no pigs, no chickens just wild animals. Water was not clean or pure it was either salt water or dirty water. They also had to kill their food with an arrow made with flint and a stick. They put them together with wax from the bee's and got a stone and made a hole in the stick fit the flint in. They used the wax to keep the flint in the stick and that's how they made arrows.
 People gathered for a celebration of some sort, people came from all around the world. There was some sort of a building in front of the motte, there were three rings of trees and an entrance which was also made with tree's and there were groove pots, which were was for food and drink, it is a metre long and lined with patterns and then they pulled out the trees out of the holes and still those holes remain.
