Our upcoming training excavation at Willow House, next to Walmgate Bar, will explore the site of the lost church of St Peter-in-the-Willows 😮
We’ll also be searching for evidence of the English Civil Wars, like this musket ball found nearby!

🧱 Alert to all #Tileophiles! 🧱
If you've been following our community excavation at Brandier Farm, you already know Peter—the Roman tile expert who can turn anyone into a tile enthusiast. Over the past three years, we’ve unearthed 9.4 tonnes of Roman tiles, and now it’s time to reveal Peter’s top five favourite finds from the project! 🏆
Oh, and exciting news—our project has been nominated for Current Archaeology’s Research Project of the Year! 🎉 If you think our work deserves the win, 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: https://t.co/FFOddR0i8b. 🙌
🌟 𝗔 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀:
• The first tile we found on day one had to make the list—it even had “HI” stamped on it! Well, it was actually upside-down and part of a broken “LHS” stamp. But discovering this tile confirmed we were digging in the right place—and marked the start of uncovering 𝟮𝟭𝟴 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀! 🤩
• 𝗦𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀! Say the people who found the second largest Roman roof tile found in the UK! 🤯
• The 𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗶𝗿 had to make the list—not just because it’s fun to say! Most tile experts only encounter these in books, so discovering not one, but three complete examples was a total bucket-list moment for us! 🎯
• The tile with the 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿-𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 (not the typical comb). These unique patterns help link the tiles produced at Brandier to Roman buildings around Gloucestershire.
• And of course, the 𝗧-𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀 made the list. These unassuming but crucial finds were key to how the Romans produced tiles on such a large scale at Brandier Farm.

Coin time! Alan found a Roman coin in his first 2 hours of archaeology ever. Great work! Happy Alan. Happy team.
We'd love any coin experts to give us their thoughts on the coin, please.

When the greatest challenge on site is the heat 🥵, we’re staying safe in the shade, remembering our sunscreen, and keeping hydrated. An extra tea break with biscuits is just what we need 😂 #kelmscott2024 @KelmscottManor @SocAntiquaries #communitydig
This week's work experience students have been digging, metal detecting, drawing and doing some photography at the #Kelmscottdig today 👍

1/2 Over the past 3 days Marc has been investigating the curious rubble spread at the S end of Trench 4. The desk based research conducted by volunteers suggested there were outbuidlings nearby, could we have found the remains... #kelmscottdig @KelmscottManor #communitydig
1/2 Sondages, slots, and sections! It's all go on day two of #kelmscottdig. The volunteers have been investigating several linears identified yesterday, and we are starting to get finds! @KelmscottManor #communitydig
This remarkable beakhead was dug out of a Hyde garden last week. It was part of the lost 12th century Hyde Abbey. Next week is the Hyde900 community dig. Sign up for a session digging or sorting via Hyde900 website. Who knows what treasure you might find!

What a classroom! US Students and volunteers attend a #communitydig run by the #TheIrishArchaeologicalFieldSchool at St Mary’s Abbey in Ferns #medieval @ancienteastIRL @visitwexford @Love_Gorey
Exciting developments on @IrishArchaeo #communitydig in Ferns - they’ve uncovered what they hope to be the buried wall of #DiarmaitMacMurragh’s 12th century abbey & cut of possible 7th century enclosing ditch of #StAidan’s monastery. @ancienteastIRL @visitwexford @Love_Gorey
Delighted to see @IrishArchaeo in Fern. Students from Nth America will spend time in Ferns around St. Mary’s Abbey as part of a #communitydig, run by the IAFS, exploring the long hidden monastic enclosure in this archaeologically rich area of #northwexford
Excited to continue the pond dig tomorrow!
Frog habitat building, path creation and some tree pruning.
Steps on the far side of the woodland as well.
