The Duke of Wellington Site - at Plazawest Development
The main Archaeological excavations at the Plazawest site were successfully completed at the end of March 2007; ancillary works were completed in July 2007 after an entire month of rain delays. The painstaking process of collating the records and analysing the finds lays ahead.
Washing, sorting and sieving took place at premises set-up in Northmead during June-August 2007. Hundreds of thousands of arefacts came to light. Special thanks are due to the students and volunteers assisting.
