On Day 2 things are starting to happen 😉 It doesn't look #AngloSaxon - but it's most definitely #archaeology:

Aha! Trench 1 is obviously the place to be for the #AngloSaxon #Archaeology!

The Day 3 update is showing Trench 2 far more clearly - fascinating #archaeology from our friends at Operation Nightingale 😉
