This dig in an area known as the plateau des Châtelliers took place this July right next to la Butte de César (click on this link to see the butte itself). The purpose of the dig is to try to learn the origin and purpose of the butte. I have yet to see any published results or conclusions, but I'll be keeping my ear to the ground, so to speak.
How exciting Stuart, when I was young I really wanted to be an archeologist, not quite sure what happened :)
ReplyDeleteYou just couldn't dig it?

ReplyDeleteNow that's what I should be doing...
ReplyDeleteInteresting. There was a find in Tungelsta recently. From the Viking era, the local archaeologist promised to give me a call so that I could get some photo sometime this month.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing that.
DeleteI wanted to go into it myself as a kid.
