This is Emily, our history & archaeology placement from @sheffielduni
She’s been researching archaeological finds from the #MiltonDig today, trying to piece together some of their everyday hidden histories - including Seville Marmalade made in Stoke.

We are very impressed with how many people were interested in attending the #MiltonDig. In all we've engaged with 3 schools and 100 volunteers, who's been helping with digging, finding and cleaning the finds. A huge #THANKYOU to everyone involved!

Tomorrow is the last day of the Milton Excavation at Forge Fields and we can't believe it is nearly the end of this fantastic archaeological journey.
We are looking forward to reveal the results very soon!

Brilliant afternoon at #Miltondig yesterday, all the staff were really friendly and helpful and my granddaughter Lottie loved it. She also said she knew I had enjoyed it as well, because my clothes were filthy when I'd finished! Thanks to everyone involved for a great afternoon.
