Preparing Excavation Area 1

Much of the work in the early days of the excavation season requires measurements relying on survey data from previous years to ascertain where to excavate.

The next phase is to remove the schist slabs placed over last year’s excavations to protect the surface, and then to remove the backfill which had been placed into the trench to protect it.

Here are some photographs of the work taking place in Excavation Area 1 which is being supervised this year, as last year, by Ivana Vetta.
