This is the last day for finishing trenches and recording. A small but select group gathered to make the final adjustments to the trenches and to draw, photograph and take the levels in the remaining open areas. Thankfully the dry weather lasted until mid afternoon.
As today is A level results day we were missing two key members of the team, although news soon came through, and it was very good news. Congratulations to Ed and Jay. It was also good to be visited by Mikey Eustace, also the bearer of good news, and to hear from Vicki Jarvis, both of whom have joined us in previous years. Well done to all of you.
A steady flow of well wishers came to have the final tour of the archaeology before it is consigned to earth once again. We would like to thanks everybody who came with such enthusiasm and encouraging words. This is a community dig and it needs the community to get behind it for it to work.
A final push in the rain after hours saw all the work completed and all but essential tools cleared away. The final act of the day was the dig dinner, which was well attended. All the usual well worn jokes "I did not recognised you in your (normal) clothes etc" were trotted out for the last time this year.
One more push to fill the trenches in the morning and dig 2010 will become history!
Diggers today - Jemma, Charlene, Jan, Sue, David S, Debbie, Mark, Christopher, James, Callum.
