Brilliant end to the season, met some amazing people and learnt a lot.Thanks to @pre_historic@EarthworkBec@hydrahayley Jim and Andrew for all the opportunities and things ive been taught. Looking forward to the future.(And writing the geophysics report with @JodiePinnell)
Finally left site at 7.30pm, we are done! We had chips for dinner and are enjoying a well earned rest. Many thanks to all our volunteers who came, our professional volunteers too and @HeritageFundSW @HeritageFundL_S @PrehistSociety
We have many features that are being excavated by our excellent volunteers under the supervision of Heidi but this is our core team working an extra hour as we have only 2 days left on site @HeritageFundL_S @HeritageFundSW @PrehistSociety
The second of our illustrious visitors was Prof Tim Darvill on Wednesday. Lovely to see him & nice for our volunteers to see our work attracting attention in this wonderful prehistoric landscape @HeritageFundSW @HeritageFundL_S @PrehistSociety
Amazing Week working on the @PastParticipate project finally getting to investigate some of the geophysical anomalies from the survey that myself and @JodiePinnell conducted earlier in the year for the project. Looking forward to what the next week brings.
To the archaeology! We’re investigating some geophysical anomalies in the field near the Kingston Russell stone circle, and we opened a big trench in the sunshine on Saturday/Sunday
Our first tweet! Past Participate is a community archaeology company and our first field project is kicking off in west Dorset. I (@pre_historic) will be tweeting later this morning with pictures to show you what we’ve been up to so far... 😁
