2nd June 2025 : Dig Diary day 1
A great start today. An excellent turnout and very gratifying to see so many new volunteers. We really hope everyone enjoyed themselves (and perhaps more importantly you’ll come back again!). The day began with our resident archaeologist Kristian Pedersen briefing us all about this year’s objectives and how our two trenches are going to help us achieve them. Our volunteers were split between trench 8 in the inner of the ditch and bank system and trench 10, a revisit to some of our excavations in 2019 and 2022. An amazing amount of progress has been made already including our first find, a bone situated within the structure of what might turn out to be our mysterious and so far unexplained circular feature. The first photo shows Kristian supervising us (in his dreams!) in trench 10. The second photo shows a happy bunch of volunteers in trench 8. Could be a shower or two around tomorrow but hopefully not enough to put us off another productive day. May see you there.
