Grid 51 is going to the dogs. Really. As excavation of the street running along the east baulk of the grid resumed today, volunteers uncovered a dog burial.

Elsewhere in the grid it was another day of cleaning which meant taking the dirt up and out to the dump.

Yesterday afternoon, staff and volunteers started sorting through the containers taking inventory of the objects collected during 30 years of excavation. As might be expected, there was a lot to go through. In fact, there was enough that staff and volunteers will be doing it again today.
