Day 17 @CAERHeritage @elycaerau_ACE community dig, (I was there!) But here's the captain's log from @IronAgeOlly: "Frantic digging & recording as we near the end of this year's dig. Still time for lots of visitors & volunteers & lovely finds including most of a Bronze Age pot!"

1/ On site today, reflecting why I love our @CAERHeritage community digs so much: every year I get to see a community re-created; friendships both new & rekindled; the exchanging of ideas & experiences; @cardiffuni students working closely with @elycaerau_ACE community...
And weβre off! Day 1 of the Trelai Park Dig 2024 and itβs great to be back!
We de-turfed both trenches and in Trench 1 found the Bronze Age roundhouses identified in 2022/23.
We even had our first piece of Bronze Age pot! What else is waiting for us? Stick around to find out!
What a fabulous day at the CAER Garden Open Day yesterday to celebrate #VolunteersWeek! The sun was shining, people were getting creative enjoying the garden in good company with good food! A big CAER thank you to everyone who came along and to everyone who made it happen! ππͺ΄π
