With even better technology (new android phone) we are running a blog again of the summer dig. You can access it at any time by clicking on this link.

On Saturday we completed the interim alalysis and recording of all the finds from trench 14. The attached document shows what trench 14 looks like, who the "finds" team are, gives some statistics and also shows some photographs of some of the special finds.

Decorated boulder discovered last November (2008) confirmed as "Rock Art".

The Bronze Age by Annabelle Rogers The Iron Age by Annabelle Rogers BA

In comparison to earlier periods, there is an exponential increase in the amount of archaeological sites and artefacts dating from the Bronze Age in north-east Wales. The sites of settlements and houses continue to be extremely rare, but there is plentiful evidence of other kinds to suggest that there was large-scale occupation of the area at this time.

We know that human beings were living in north-east Wales as long ago as the Lower Paleolithic (c. 225,000 BP); there are several caves in Denbighshire, such as Pontnewydd, Ffynnon Beuno and Lynx Cave which attest to their presence. 1Footnote 1: Lynch, F.
