Every week our teams of archaeologists are uncovering interesting finds across the country. Whether it is an artefact or an ecofact, each piece of evidence helps us build a more detailed picture of the past. 

Join us in an exciting journey of discovery.

Adrienne has an exciting update from the South West

 

"When my colleague Bernice told me this bone fragment looked odd and needed a second look, I didn't expect it would turn out to be from a bear! It comes from a Roman settlement in the south west of England and we hope to find out much more about it...we have so many questions!"
