The 5 minute version is a cut down version of the 13.40 minute one which is well worth watching. It gives a really good impression of the dig and what all your hard work achieved. If you are lucky you might even see yourself in the video!!

Comment: A few stats ...
Thanks to the efforts of the Visitor Team (ably led by Brian and Leo throughout) in recording who came to see the site, here are a few figures:
Between 4th September and 28th September, we had 1131 visitors. These comprised:
Females: 454
Males: 489
Children: 188
The busiest day was: Sat 14th Sept - the first open day
The quietest day was: Weds 18th Sept - during the rainy week!
The majority of the visitors were fairly local and from Cumbria. However, people also came from all across the UK, Europe, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. These out-of-county visitors may well have been visiting the Bath House, however the Romans in Ravenglass project was able to enhance their visting experience!
Thank you to all the members of the Visitor Team for their efforts - it meant that the diggers could concentrate on digging, whilst the visitors had an informed tour of the site.

Report: 24th September - School visits
Good weather heralded the arrival of groups of children visiting from various local schools. This meant that the site was very busy!
The children were trying out pot washing ...
... using the portable sand pit to excavate ,,,
... and taking the Spoilheap Challenge!
The film company were also on-site making a video of the excavations ...
Meanwhile, the site was still having visitors drop by for a talk and a tour ...
... and fifty-six finds trays were out in the fresh air drying ...
... whilst small finds were being bagged, and the bags were pierced by the Holey Nail of the Finds Hut so that the finds didn't sweat ...
Phew!
