Volunteers were invited to help excavate an old alleyway and part of a churchyard.
Human remains were also discovered during the excavations of a path and part of the churchyard next to the Old Black Lion in Northampton.
John Buglass said there were two main difficulties during the week: "One was the sun because it beats down off the wall of the pub and it has been roasting."The other was getting all the wretched tree roots out from all the shrubs that have been allowed to grow while the pub has been effectively empty. That actually disturbed a lot of the archaeology.
"We've also got one frog bone, quite a bit of bird bone, not just chickens, we've also got birds that are living wild."The earth also surrendered broken pottery and bits of glass.
