So, what’s next?
We have loads more content to come, don’t you worry! Just because the dig is over doesn’t mean the archaeology has to end. Now we’ll be looking into our finds in a bit more detail and thinking over our final interpretation of this wonderful and exciting site.

Time to backfill
The field team were up bright and early this morning to oversee the backfill process. We couldn’t possibly move those giant spoil heaps by hand so we’re helped along by the digger.
It’s a bittersweet moment saying goodbye to our gorgeous trenches but there’s so much more to come …

3D Models incoming
Nat and David have finished up work in the main trench after a lot of hard work! Nat is now getting all the photos he needs to make a 3D model for you guys. Just like Trench 3, you’ll be able to explore the main trench from top to bottom using your own computer.
We can’t wait to see the results!

It’s the last day!
It’s a busy day on site today as we head into the last day of our six week dig. It’s been such a pleasure to excavate such an interesting site! We’ve missed our Venturers these last few weeks but we hope they enjoyed their time with us as much as we did.
Fancy a catch up with our archaeologists? Don’t forget our wrap up session will be live tonight at 7pm GMT!
