The student dig

 An extract from the beginning of Chapter 2 of Small Finds:

It is Friday evening when the students begin to arrive: the first-years.

They pitch their tents in a semi-circle, facing inwards, like wagons drawn up in a corral, as if they were setting up camp in a hostile environment.

The beginning of the student dig. Everything's good

Everything's the way it should be

As long as he forgets about everything else, it will all be fine

This is what he enjoys most: being out on a dig with the students

There will be plenty here to discover ...

A late 4th century Roman villa in the Cotswolds. What's not to like?

Six weeks. Starting now

Small Finds, a novel about archaeology ... and everything else
