The last year or so and the pandemic has been difficult for everyone. It&#8217;s slowed archaeological research down. James did manage to give a paper on Lufton to <a href=\"https:\/\/humanities.exeter.ac.uk\/archaeology\/\">Exeter University<\/a> last year. It was, of course, a virtual paper given on MS Teams but it was well attended and a few locals from the Yeovil area even managed to join in, which was lovely to see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James and Andy have also been working (dare they say it) on finalising the long over-due post-excavation assessment report. Both feel disappointed that the report hasn&#8217;t been completed yet but would beg our reader&#8217;s patience. It has been delayed by very challenging circumstances that have been beyond the control of both of us. We have been cracking on since the start of the year and we&#8217;re starting to see the fruits of our endeavours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The section drawing above shows the limit of excavation in the southern extension of LUF17 Trench B. What is shows is the mosaic (1009) surrounding the plunge bath, Hayward&#8217;s trench investigating the robbed out wall of the bath house (1018) and layers of demolition collapse rubble (1003), (1005), (1010). It&#8217;s producing and interpreting this kind of evidence that makes archaeology such a complicated process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The blog has been quiet of late but work is carrying on behind the scenes.
