Our 2024 season begins! We welcomed participants from across the globe to Strata Florida yesterday, and after an introduction to the site and abbey by Quentin this morning, everyone got to work on weeding the site, ready to begin excavations. Very excited to see what we discover!

Since today is #BlueMonday, what better way to boost your mood than some smiley archaeologists!

@AndrewJFrizzell @tutty352 @pete_savin We do offer non-residential options if you would like to take part in our excavations... but then enjoy a cosy bed instead of a tent!

Want to try something new in 2024? Join us for our 2024 archaeology field school and learn new skills, gain new experiences, meet new people, make new discoveries... although as archaeologists, its always the old things we get the most excited about! strataflorida.org.uk/archaeology-fi…
