The archaeologists are continually working on the trenches at the site, here are some images taken this morning (5th July, around 10:30). Work is still continuing at pace in the largest trenches in Area A, and work is coming along nicely in Area B. Also the walkway and conveyor belts are now fully operational.
The photos below give a good indication as to how much work has been done on Area A.
The photo above gives more detail of the foundations from the buildings discovered earlier in the dig. You can also see the various pieces of archaeology that have been uncovered so far: 20th century drains and the floor of a building from the 19th century.
This photo [above] gives a great idea of the extent of the excavations so far, with a number of trenches reaching down several feet deep.
This image [above] gives a closer look at some of the stonework discovered in the trenches, this is probably the outer wall of the Amphitheatre structure.
Some more detail from Area A [above], in the case a closer look at the 20th century drains.
Work has now underway in Area B. This area has never been excavated before, and little is known about it.
Work will be slow in Area B due to it being such an unknown quantity.
A photograph [below] of the trench in Area C. These photographs of Areas A and B are taken from the public walkway that was opened last week. They give a good example of the access they provide to the whole site.
The conveyor belt system is now fully operational, as you will notice from the lack of skips now on the main site.
The conveyor belt carries debris from Area A [above], transporting it under the public walkway, and through to the car park in Dee House [below].
There is also a similar system now in place in Area B.
