Day 14 and the first drops of serious rain for the last hour of the working day. Trench 4 has now been backfilled, and after lunch we recorded the last feature in Trench 5 and started backfilling that trench too.
Talking of Trench 5, the final overhead image of Trench 5 is shown above left. Above right: Alan is practicing his 'bowling technique' whilst backfilling the stones into Trench 5.
