This season we continued to excavate the post-Roman (6th – 9th century AD) levels and the remains of the Roman town.

There were opportunities for local people to work on the excavation, experiencing digging and/or finds processing, and learning about recording and surveying. Supervision and training was provided by Oxford Archaeology and the University of Oxford. 

Thanks for last year

Finally, a big thank you to all those who turned out on Fridays and Saturdays to process last year’s finds.  We did over 350 person-hours of washing and sorting the many thousands of pottery fragments, roof tiles, animal bones and other finds.  Special thanks to Mari and Ed Metcalfe for the use of their garage as a work space.
