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.

I finally found the bottom of this large storage pit. This was one of many found on site which were probably used for food storage.

Lots of lovely finds coming out of a small Roman kiln in this rural settlement in St Neots. You can see the pot fragments left from its last firing, along with kiln bars that the pots would have sat on top of inside the oven.

We found this incredible cremation burial in a ditch. The large vessel contained the burnt remains of the deceased, and the vessels would likely have contained food offerings.
