OK – so this isn’t strictly a post about archaeology – but it is a post about how we enjoy ourselves in the dig house (pensione) after a hard day’s work.

Lydia Beaumont-Cankaya was keen to celebrate Halloween in some small way, so asked us to dress up in costumes for dinner. Some of the team took up the challenge, so I thought I’d share with you a few of the snaps I took over dinner.

Thanks to Lydia for organising a fun night. She had even hand-made and decorated cardboard cones which she filled with chocolate and treats, and gave one to each of us after dinner.
