Endlessly curious about the stories of our ancestors, often found in a muddy field or looking into the past. Archaeology. Family history. Lifelong learning. Walking. SW coast. Night sky. Nature. My garden. French wine.

Sarah has found a Late Iron Age midden deposit, containing quite a lot of pottery, in the upper levels of her ditch section
She is happy 😊

An unusual find from our predominantly Iron Age site is this fragment of polished Neolithic axe which Jo has recovered from the top of a ditch section
Nice 🤩

Just had a fantastic few days excavating with Time Team at Sutton Hoo! 🏺 Thrilled to uncover new finds, learn from experts, and connect with history beneath Suffolk soil. Grateful, inspired and already counting the days until the next dig! #TimeTeam #SuttonHoo #DigLife

In trench 6, our wonderful fieldschool students have been finding and revealing wall foundations and boundaries in the robber cuts! As the foundations of walls are becoming easier to spot, we are beginning to wonder how all these walls were connected when the manor house was still standing!

Lots of archaeology (especially ditches) showing up cut into the natural white chalk geology
We've got lots to do!

Excavation has begun across the long, linear ditch in the southern end of Trench M at #Durotriges25
Really hoping it's Iron Age 🤞

I’ve been over the county border into Devon this weekend to Hope Cove. A wonderful weekend of sea air, glorious views along the SW coast path, and up to Bolt Tail Iron Age promontory hillfort. There’s a single rampart here that goes right across the headland with an entrance in the middle
