Thursday is done and we have just one day left. The race is on to finish off all the digging that we need to, and get everything recorded before closing the trench at the start of next week.
Today we had another scorcher, with all the students working very hard in the hot sun. We saw the completion of the recording of the well section, widespread planning, lessons in section drawing, and the removal of the second road surface.
Activity was not confined to the trench, with visitors from Marcham and diggers from years gone by dropping in to see our progress. Gill Hey, CEO of Oxford Archaeology and one of our co-directors, came by the site to see the results of this year's hard work.
In the early afternoon, with the excavators being treated to a lecture by Professor Chris Gosden, the supervisors were happily distracted from their work by the Red Arrows' fantastic display for the RAF Benson Families' Day. The aerial acrobatics, however, didn't stop them from hopping onto the road for some final trowelling action before the end of the season.
Check back tomorrow for the final action post.
