So, I did a bit of work experience with Current World Archaeology magazine (which was lovely - really nice people) and they let me write a little something for them:

It's based on the Apolline Project, which is an excavation I went on during July 2011. It was a really interesting dig and they've made a lot of progress recently, establishing that it is the site of a large Roman villa.
It all looks set to continue next year, with further excavations into the villa, and the possibility of even more interesting finds. I hope to be joining them!
