At last, my own wall!

Rina and I  soon got  the hang of it, and quickly the wall began to succumb.  We were joined by Dorita (green pants), a London teacher on holiday.

The wall began to slowly disappear.  The routine of excavating, planning, "trigging" when necessary, sifting for finds, and rock numbering and removal soon became second nature.

On the few days that we had  bad weather, or if you just wanted a break, you could clean and sort finds.  Please note the hot water dispenser for tea.   Typhoo anyone?  Ossie (in black) came from Turkey as part of his university studies.

The platform  is provided for visitor viewing of the excavation.  The small brick   building, once a primary school, is now the headquarters.  Rina is seated at center.  Dorita is kneeling at the 9 o'clock position reviewing plans before they complete demolition of the 3rd  century wall.   I  had been moved to the "rubbish" area by this time.
