We had a lovely time near Evesham, helping @ExploreThePast bring the #IronAge to life. This was all part of an #Archaeologicalproject called #RootsinTime. The project excavated an area that was once a thriving settlement before and during the Roman occupation of Britain. #Local

Monty has found himself in the finds room and is lending us a hoof by washing #Roman pot from the #RootsInTime community excavation earlier this year. Please don't muddle up the trays 🤞 Take a look back at our dig diaries for highlights (there's some seriously nice finds!).

We begin #EYALanguages with some #Latin following a member of the #RootsInTime dig team's find of a Roman pot with the name POTTACV stamped on its base. It's rare to get names in archaeology & a great writing example! Learn more here bit.ly/3VP4VEh #ExploreYourArchive

Many thanks to the 75 volunteers who helped uncover this fascinating site! It's been great fun & we hope you learned lots. We'll update you as the picture continues to unfold in the office, and huge thanks to @HeritageFundUK for making #RootsInTime community dig possible. (3/3)

Due to patience excavation by a #RootsInTime volunteer, we have large sherds of this chunky yet fragile pot & it's looking early Iron Age (about 800-400BC). This confirms that the Roman settlement further up the slope was not new, but just one chapter of the site's story (2/3)

#RootsInTime dig diary day 13: Our last day finally arrived, along with our oldest finds... Most of the trenches were on the slope above the River Avon, but two trenches were nearer the river. Ditches & pits revealed here contained few finds, but handily there was some pot (1/3)

#RootsInTime dig diary day 12: Thanks to everyone who came to the Open Day! Over 200 people visited on Sat 17th for site tours, chance to chat with @MagSurveys geophysics team & live drone photography. Many thanks to the volunteers who made it possible & our BSL interpreter.

#RootsInTime dig diary day 11: Hmm, this is an oddly decorated #Roman pot base. It's similar to the stamps on Samian ware, made in Gaul. But this pot is more local and is stamped with shapes not letters - perhaps an illiterate potter's attempt to make their wares fashionable?

#RootsInTime dig diary day 10: Just look at this Roman mug 😮 It's seems so familiar, like something you'd see in a trendy shop. Yet it's nearly 2000 year old. It's technically a mini tankard & it's small size makes it unusual & rare. Oh, & the fact that it's so complete! (1/2)

The #RootsInTime open day is still planned for Saturday 17th September from 11am to 3pm to ensure residents can view the excavations, as there is a very limited opportunity prior to backfilling. The day will start with a 1 minute silence at 11am on site. explorethepast.co.uk/project…

#RootsInTime dig diary day 8: Hmm, is that a Roman floor tile? This chunky piece may be the first hint of a fancy Roman building nearby! We'd better wait for our finds team to look before getting carried away, but it was found with #Roman pot & animal bone in Tr8's large ditch.

#RootsInTime dig diary day 7: Work got underway on ditches in Tr10 - few finds sadly, but does suggest they're livestock pens or fields. In Tr6 a small pit is appearing under the midden material, and most of the ditch slots in Tr3 are now excavated ready for recording tomorrow.

#RootsInTime dig diary day 6: Have we hit archaeological gold - a #Roman midden (rubbish heap)? Middens are essentially a big pile of rubbish, sometimes mixed with manure. They can just be a rubbish dump, but they're also valuable fertiliser (1/2)

#RootsInTime dig diary day 5: We're back for week 2! Lovely to see lots of new faces today. Five new trenches have been opened in the main field, revealing more ditches & pits. Interestingly, there's more activity on the slope than at the top of the field (1/2)
