Here are some photos of the team who worked on Trench 6 for the first three weeks of the 2014 excavations. The excavation here was supervised by Andrew Moore for the first three weeks of the 2014 season because Paul Donnelly, who supervised the area last year, was unable to participate in the season until about half way through.

Paul met with Andrew on the last day of the first three weeks of excavation, Friday 10 October, and they discussed progress and perspectives on the trench so Paul could effectively resume the supervision.

The 2013 site plan showing trench locations in 2013 is at the bottom of this post. For more information about this part of Zagora, see last year’s post on Excavation Area 5.

Andrew Moore and Lesley Beaumont
Trench supervisor, Andrew Moore, with Lesley Beaumont, one of the Zagora project directors. Andrew and Lesley studied Archaeology together in England many years ago. Andrew excavated some extremely significant sites as an archaeologist. He is now a barrister in England but mentioned in a phone call to Lesley earlier this year that he missed archaeological excavation. Lesley told him about the upcoming Zagora excavations, likely to be the last excavation season in the near future. And, well, the rest is history.

Julia McLachlan hugs Fatih Mehmet Er who was leaving the dig after working at Zagora for three weeks. He, like all the others, was very sad to have to go. There were many scenes of hugging and affection around the site on this last day of the first half of the dig because some team members had to leave. Working together in adversity creates a very special camaraderie. © AAIA; photo by Irma Havlicek
