Imagine if you were given the opportunity to go beachcombing in the drained moat of a medieval castle in Europe.
That once-in-a-lifetime chance was given to Jason Sandy and friends who were asked by the Museum of London and Historic Royal Palaces to conduct an archaeological survey of the moat surrounding the ancient Tower of London castle which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In preparation for the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in June 2022, the moat was partially excavated to install a new irrigation system to water the new “Superbloom” gardens consisting of 20 million wildflowers.
Jason gave a talk about his unique experience and showing us the extraordinary artifacts they found while searching the medieval moat. You won’t believe the incredible history they uncovered, which dates back to the Middle Ages!
