Interim Dig Report No. 11

Hi everyone here's my latest dig report covering trenches TR45 and partly TR32 and TR11e. Particular interest for me were the copper alloy artefacts found either side of the ditch feature, which is the first identifiable ditch we've found so far. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ugFQ_sKwuVyRnzv5s-VllCDy657ReFTl/view?usp=sharingI hope you enjoy the read.
