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!
Today is #internationalwomensday so we're celebrating the fantastic women who work on our team to deliver our annual archaeology field school! Can't wait to work with you all again in 2024!

Help us repair Mynachlog Fawr farmhouse!
In 2024 we aim to undertake emergency works and surveys of the farmhouse to save and protect it.
