Day 5: Hail Caesar
The weather was even more Cestrian than usual, with a particularly bad afternoon hailstorm driving Team 2014 indoors...
Bradley
Bit of wet weather today so we had to wait the morning for the conditions to improve. Getting on site in the afternoon, most of the trenches were filled with water which prevented us from working straight off, and a bit of teamwork was needed, forming human chains to bucket the water out of the trenches. Luckily the area I was working on was finished so was able to trowel till break, finding a lot of charcoal and a few large pieces of bone. Unfortunately the rain joined by a bit of thunder and hail came along soon after, resulting in an early day for the diggers.

Slow start to the morning as the rain caused us to be stuck inside (thankfully), leaving us to complete section drawings and fill the silence with classic banter. Following lunch when everyone went back to a presumably filthy site, me and the rest of the A team headed off to our finds processing station to work on cleaning and cataloguing finds from last week. Bones were cleaned, hail was avoided, tunes were belting and once again, banter was had. Good day.
