Day three has dawned on us bright and sunny, which comes as something of a relief and a chance to dry wet boots as we work! Up until now we have been preparing the site. We have been surveying, laying out grids, cutting grass (by hand, with a range of instruments ranging from blunt shears to kitchen scissors- the joys of upland archaeology!) and deturfing. Next we will begin to remove the topsoil and reveal the structure of the tomb. Already we have found a nice flint scraper, and we are just hoping will we find more!
We are also delighted to be able to report we will be in this week's Campbeltown Courier.

We also have a few public events organised. There are open days this Friday (26th, until 7 p.m. so people have a chance to come and see us after work) and also on Sunday 12th July (10-4 p.m.) and we will be presenting a public lecture to announce our findings at the Argyll Arms, Campbeltown on Wednesday 15th July, starting at 8 p.m. In addition to this we have a few school visits organised, and hope to have some more events if we can find suitable venues. They will be announced both here and on the bulletin board in Campbeltown library as and when they become reality.

That's all for now, but this really is where the interesting digging starts, so fingers crossed that in the next couple of days we'll have loads of interesting finds to talk about!
