Day started well, I woke up before the alarm went off at 4.48am. Switched it off so as not to wake the people in the next room. Got washed and dressed, glanced at the clock it now read 4.08 am ??? so at approximately 5am there must be a satellite pass over and it resets itself again. That is why I have been late the last two mornings.
Had a lovely breakfast with a good selection to choose from.
On site I went to work on 4 different small heaps in area A, much the same as the other days with only small fragments of iron, 1 small fragment of copper alloy and what looked like an iron fibular or bow brooch, but most likely a bent nail. Ah well next time maybe!
Good lunch selection again and a well needed rest from the sun. This is the area where we all sat out of the sun for break and lunch.
After lunch returned to area A and started on a fresh spoil heap still in use, I was kept busy on this one as the barrow loads arrived, sometimes just the one, but occasionally two at once. I managed to winkle out 1 copper alloy lump and 5 fragments of iron. I had the chance to go over another heap while waiting and recovered a few pieces of iron and 1 coin. But that was it for the day.
Back to the hotel for dinner and a quiet evening watching Star Trek in Italian.
A view from the hotel window looking toward Rome.
buonanotte
