We've come to the end of the dig and
it's time for a cup of tea, some biscuits,
and a bit of a chat about what we've found
We've been here for two weeks
looking for Princess Aebbe's long-lost
monastery...
and we've actually had a result!
It looks like we've probably found the vallum, the ditch that would enclosed Aebbe's monastery
... that would
have gone all the way around.
And it seems to be enclosing something that's centered on the Priory over there.
We've also found so much animal bone we barely know what to do with it!
Johanna, what are we going to do with it all?
- Well, first of all we're going to have to clean it
And then we're going to
send it off to our zooarchaeologist
who will hopefully be able to tell us what
kind of animals were here, and what they did with them
So the dig might be done, but the archaeology isn't over yet.
We've got to send all of the samples off to the lab, and there will be plenty more discoveries.
So keep following online, there's plenty
more to come.
Oi! That's my biscuit!
