Methods in brief

  • Stratigraphic excavation: reading layers to sequence occupation.
  • Typology & dating: pottery classification and coin seriation.
  • Conservation in the field: stabilising fragile finds before lab treatment.

Notable discoveries

  • Roman-era fragments, medieval domestic pottery, and structural foundations that illuminate urban changes.

Reader task: Visit the small museum to see representative finds and read their labels with stratigraphic notes.
