@hillfortian.bsky.socialI don't know to whom the credit goes for this! It appears sans ™ on another platform.
Brilliant. Students of #ashwell26... This was the soil matrix drawing you deserved, not my poor dry erase board scribbles 😂
Please shout if you are the clever originator!
@hillfortian.bsky.socialLess than a week and I'm already missing this gorgeous ditch. Look at all the lovely filling. 😌
The lump of Hertfordshire puddingstone in the section at the interface of two very different fills...*chef's kiss*

@hillfortian.bsky.social121 people, 27mph winds, 2 trenches, 7 site tours, one me.
Been a brilliant day at the #ashwell26 open day, despite the variable weather (only a few raindrops!!)
Thanks to all who came out!
@durotrigesdig.bsky.socialGood news from the #Ashwell26 dig 😊👍
@hillfortian.bsky.socialExtremely so! Participants were amazing, and this first season has nicely tested the waters (I know better the density and preservation of finds, as well as the soils and stratigraphy).
Green light from the landowner this morning, so as #ashwell26 ends, watch for #ashwell27 registration soon!
@hillfortian.bsky.socialSaturday 11-4
Ashwell End - SG7 5JE
Come along to the Open Day at the end of #ashwell26
A few nice features, a few nice finds, the good people at the Asheell Museum are opening up too and doing teas and things.
We have a lot of gorgeous Iron Age potsherds and a very sexy bronze iron age coin...

Fresh from the trenches...
(Fresh indeed - the cheeky chap on the Samian sherds is lucky that break spared his blushes)

@hillfortian.bsky.socialAnyone hot on their chronology of Hertfordshire field drainage? Maybe @themerl.bsky.social ?
It's truncating the eastern side of our (probably late med) boundary ditch.
Despite this lack of Romanitas, Bea seemed happy to reveal it😂
