Students from the University of Durham have begun to excavate in the fort of Binchester. Some enigmatic archaeology has already emerged, including the remains of a possible barracks block and Late Roman tower. The finds may be suggesting that we have some tantalizing evidence for refining our Late Roman - Medieval chronologies in the area. Check out Dave's blog for the details and the latest info.
