Thank you to everyone who came to the #AskAnArchaeologist taproom hosted by the excellent Big Dig Brewhouse at Winterborne Kingston (Duropolis) #Dorset You're very wonderful 😍 Thank you also who couldn't attend in person but who asked questions online You're very wonderful too 👍 #archaeology

@durotrigesdig.bsky.social Made it this year. Intergenerational visit with my son and granddaughter. Excellent visit. Thanks to everyone. #bigdig #durotrigesdig #Dorset
Highlight of the #Durotriges26 Open Day @durotrigesdig.bsky.social? Enjoying Miles's excitement at the two overlapping Iron Age roundhouses in the 'emergency trench'. 😆👏 The later one was built through the remains of the older one. It was occupied around the very time of the Romans' arrival.
Listening to Miles Russell give a very entertaining tour of two beautiful Iron Age roundhouses at the @durotrigesdig.bsky.social open day, and two old blokes having a lovely catch up afterwards.
A splendid morning at the #Durotriges26 open day @durotrigesdig.bsky.social! Was on the first tour & all the presentations were top-class. 👏 Many thanks to everyone there. 🙌 Nicely finished off with fish & chips and a half-pint* of Duropolis Rising. *I was driving 😇
Final spot of Iron Age charioteering before I leave wonderful Chalke. Magical weekend, and can’t emphasise how hard the chariot builders worked in impossible heat to enable this. Next stop @durotrigesdig.bsky.social open day!
Another fascinating visit to the @durotrigesdig.bsky.social dig near Winterbourne Kingston. They are discovering so much about late iron age culture and the arrival of Roman people in Dorset. Thank you all for sharing what you are discovering. @bournemouthuni.bsky.social
