Hey All! May was a super month of excavation. Of course, we must thank all those hearty troopers out here in April...hey wait, I think it was a beautiful April this year! Thanks to all the hearty troopers of MAY then. We got a lot done, so check it out, and for all of you June excavators, keep the pictures coming so everyone can see the developments as their darling trenches soon disappear in the name of progress!!

Here's Site 29 (strip house in the vicus)

And the south end of site 29. Classic Vindolanda stratigraphy!

We looked and we looked, and alas! The Antonine wall continues north!

(Who remembers finding the southwest corner in 2006 inside SFII? This is the answer on the north end)

Okay, Matt and company looked and looked while I watched from above!!

This is what we like to see, a team hard at work.

And there's even a corner (thank god)!

Thanks to everyone for all of your hard work. Keep coming back and check up on progress. And remember, post, post, post!! Everyone loves to see your pics of people, buildings, trenches and whatever else you got up to here at Vindolanda (within reason please!!)

;)

Some of the May crews. Add yours if it's not here.

:D

OK So heres a pic of the June underwater team!

And just so you know that Andy doesn't mind getting wet, here he is holding forth at a high point on the wall on THE BIG WALK. I think Beth is adjusting her goggles.
A word of warning to any of you digging in July if it rains and he suggests this walk DONT do it.

Out of the Glastonbury trenches...

Beth in action! Go girl!
