Archaeology is a physically demanding job – outside for eight hours a day, five days a week, all year round.  We work through all weather.  But it’s also an incredibly satisfying job.  We enjoy the simple things on site each day: a good cup of tea and biscuits…a lot of biscuits!

Out on the Bury site, we currently have a team of 20 archaeologists toiling away, digging and recording the archaeological remains.  In the coming weeks, as well as updates about the exciting finds we’re uncovering on site, we’ll also be introducing you to a few more members of the team.  But for now, here’s a photo montage of our people in action.  Enjoy!
