dy This andiron was discovered under the topsoil of k15 and is in very fragile condition. We are excavating it by cleaning the surface first using very delicate tools in order to articulate it carefully, and then we will remove it.The broken pieces of the andiron are covered with soil that can not be removed easily. Due to the andiron's poor condition, we plan to remove it in pieces and not attempt to block it out for fear that it will collapse in the process. Photographs are being taken to document the steps of the excavation and the removal. After the surface was cleaned, we began removing the soil between the andiron fragments. The pieces are being removed one at a time and stored in a box. Our intention for spending so much time articulating and removing this andiron is based on an attempt to see if any surfaces are incised however nothing was found to suggest such as surface.
