Here are some photos of the team who worked under Hugh Thomas’ supervision for the first three weeks of the 2014 excavations.

The 2013 site plan, showing trench locations of the 2013 excavations is at the bottom of this post. The trench supervised by Hugh is in the vicinity of what was described last year on this blog as Excavation Area 3, which was supervised by Hugh Thomas last year.
