In Episode 4 of the A-Z of Archaeology, Nikki, Alice and Jenny are joined by a very special guest- Professor Julian Thomas as he discusses the Neolithic site of Dorstone Hill, the artefacts that have been found there and what is next for University of Manchester excavations in the Dorstone area. Alice and Nikki also discuss their experience of digging at Dorstone, from the section drawings, to the camping, to the local pub. Join us in the next episode for “E: Experimental Archaeology”.
