S21 | Dig 2: The Spoil Heap (Prof Suzannah Lipscomb)
Added 2021-09-29 08:32:18 +0000 UTCOur second site in Oxfordshire has two distinct strands, with the Roman villa located on the estate of an equally grand building that dominates the landscape: Broughton Castle.
Derek and Lawrence spent much of Day Two at the castle, carrying out some high-tech archaeology and catching up with historian Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. We'll be sharing more of their adventures around this stunning building in due course. Until then, here's a Spoil Heap session in the grounds with Suzannah.
Comments
Loving all this background insight, and can I say thank you for moving from phone cam to something a little more robust and less prone to wind! I really love watching your Spoil Heap, trench visits and snap interviews and don't want to miss a word of the wisdom you are able to share with us.

2021-10-03 15:22:40 +0000 UTCI echo the "Why the 1 hour limit" comment. But also, why stick to the fixed 3-day period for the actual excavations (even granted that there is additional time before and after)? Is the limit finance or are there other logistical reasons for the three days?
