That site was all about the charcoal,\u00a0it looks like there was concerted woodland management and charcoal preparation going on\u00a0in the Iron Age .\u00a0Then it was on to the Temple dig with its huge ritual pit, and the infamous horse.\u00a0The super-sized kiln site dig \u00a0ran concurrently where the team\u00a0dealt with over 4 tonnes of Roman finds! Not ready to lay down their trowels even then, October was spent over near Mortimer at a group of exciting Iron Age banjo enclosures. All of this was supported by you, showing an interest, visiting us, and in many cases helping on-site too so a very big thanks from us. We\u2019re still busily working away on the post-excavation from all these wonderful sites so there\u2019ll be lots more news on prehistoric and Roman life and landscape to come from us next year. In the meantime, we hope you all have a wonderful festive season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve had the most amazing, productive and archaeologically rich year so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What a great year, thanks to all of you!
