Here are some photos of the team who worked on Antonio Bianco’s excavation area for the first three weeks of the 2014 excavations. I took the first two photos when I visited the site for the first time on Friday 10 October. However, Laura Patterson was working at the Andros Archaeological Museum washing finds on that day, so she isn’t in my photos. Callum Ferrell noticed this and so Antonio Bianco gave me some photographs he had from earlier in the season which include Laura – which I have added, below. Thanks, Callum and Antonio.

The 2013 site plan, showing trench locations of 2013 excavations is at the bottom of this post. The trench Antonio is supervising is in the vicinity of trench number 4 (described on this blog last year as Excavation Area 4).

In the photo below, check out the wall they built in front of the spoil heap with stones they had to carry there from the excavation area).

The plan showing the areas being excavated at Zagora in 2014
