The face you pull when you accidently collapse a section, and the joy of back filling by hand, most of you will know the backfill dance! Don't forget to come down for our open day on Saturday at @WollatonHall! #openday #archaeology #wedig #Shame

A new week, with new trainees at @WollatonHall ! Already we have cemented Keira's love for archaeology and 'borrowed' Emma and Dave who usually volunteer with @ULASarchaeology! Sorry guys! #wedig #archaeology #training #digging #sorrynotsorry

Final day of week one at @WollatonHall and we think we've revealed the bedding layers associated with earlier formal garden paths, a good cliffhanger to end the week on! #WeDig #archaeology #training

GPS and dumpy level training @WollatonHall, old school versus new(ish) tech! Anyone out there still using a dumpy? #archaeology #training #WeDig #WeDig2021 #oldschool #ThrowbackThursday

Test pits were started today over the remains of possible 17th century paths at @WollatonHall with a bit of photography training and animal bone identification thrown into the mix! #WeDig #archaeology #training #digging

[Trent & Peak Community @TPCommArch]

We have the beginnings of an excavation at Wollaton park! #WeDig2021 #Archaeology #Training #WeDig

[Trent & Peak Community @TPCommArch]

Our confirmed weekly schedule for #WeDig Wollaton Park! New for this year is our Archaeobotany session taking place on Thursdays with our resident archaeobotanist Stacey Adams! Last minute bookings are being taken! See you at @WollatonHall for some #archaeology #training

[Trent & Peak Community @TPCommArch]

Could we have found the orangery?! The @MagSurveys data also revealed other garden features! We may have to dig two trenches... Places still available for @WeDig Wollaton Park, starting 9th Aug! Book now - https://t.co/jubvp1DrJm

[Trent & Peak Community @TPCommArch]

The results we get from the geophysical survey we did last week at @WollatonHall with @MagSurveys will help us decide where we should dig this year on #WeDig Wollaton Park training excavation! We still have spaces left, don't forget to books yours!
