The cover was taken off the polytunnel to give the trench an opportunity to dry out a little. Several small stones were removed across the lower part of the trench to see if that elusive structure could be revealed. Digging continued steadily as the soil was scraped away and more small pieces of bone were collected and logged.

Don taught Chantelle and Emerald the fine art of surveying with the alidade.

Rain interrupted play briefly.

At the end of the day Roger promised that the best of the dig was still to come, hinting that more dramatic changes to the trench were planned for tomorrow?
