Day 14 brought a variety of visitors

Holly M reports from Trench 4… Today we continued with the cleaning of the Roman road as well as uncovering the roadside gully and the cleaning of the surface in order to be able to record it at a later time. We were also visited by some school children who were shown the site and some of the artefacts by two members of our team. They asked lots of questions and showed a keen interest in the subject. We also had a visit from a dog named Fen which brightened up our day.

Well-behaved canine visitors are always welcome!

Jake gets a taste of recording in trench 8… Now midway through the final full week of the 2019 Grosvenor Park excavations [eek!] and recording has commenced in Trench 8.

Team bee had a study period in the afternoon in which work towards the final portfolio was completed [of course it was! well done! Ed.]
