During the summer school 4 grids were surveyed by our visiting students. The first two grids have now been processed and the report has been completed (see attached file below) The report has been compiled by one of our visiting students Lydia Jones and I must comment, that for a first attempt at a geophysics report it is excellent.

This year I am going to attempt to put into practice some of the tricks that we learnt on the Grundtvig Malta trip by using Google Blogger to keep a “live” online diary of the Summer 2010 dig. You can access it at any time by clicking on this link.

Dear CAYA Members, Karen, Kirsty, Phil and I wish you a very good summer holiday! Just to let you know that the next session will be on September 25th 2010. We are hoping that the Romans will come and see us again as well as continuing with looking at the heritage and conservation of the Caer Alyn site during the autumn.

Last week, volunteers from Caer Alyn played the part of an iron-age family for an educational dvd for a schools information pack on the iron-age. Whilst waiting for the film crew to arrive, Phil Cox (our own "director" tcarried out his own photo shoot!
