This is just a quick note to say that the project is now back up and running again after the winter break. You can see the covers have nearly all be carefully removed from the site on the webcam, so digging work will soon be getting underway in earnest.
You can expect to start seeing the information trickling it's way through slowly as the work gathers pace over the next few weeks.
We are hoping to have much more activity on the blog this year, but stay tuned for another announcement when we get more details!

What's happened to the webcam? You could be bulldozing the entire site and the world wouldn't be able to see!
Seriously, I miss my daily view of the dig, and hope you will soon be back online.
It's back! Good to see all that activity - now I'm looking forward to finding out what this year's objectives are, and hopefully reports on any early results and finds.
Are we going to have more frequent posts from the archaeologists this year - after their star turns on Timewatch I thought they'd love doing an online diary!!
From The Trenches...
Yes, we have finally started digging again for the summer. After taking all the winter coverings from site, we have had to make it clean and tidy again by removing moss and troweling the surface. But now, digging is in full gear.
Recently, in Area A (the northern part of the amphitheatre), we have found a brooch and in Area B (towards the east entrance of the amphitheatre) we have been finding interesting bits of pottery and burnt bone.
Also worth mentioning is the new information point that will be set up on site in the forthcoming weeks. It will be situated on the walkway and (soon) will have pamphlets, fact and activity sheets, and artefacts for handling. An archaeologist will also be onhand to provide information about the site.
It was in the extension to Area B.
I know this for twas I that found it!
