The background photo is strong overall shot of an active dig.

The star artifact graphic is replaced by a view of careful excavation of a piece of pottery. The star artifacts in this case change as new finds come to the surface.

Additional inset photos feature elements of archaeology, investigation, research and presentation.

Theme Text
Excavation at the Colony of Avalon is an ongoing process. Only a fraction of the site has been exposed and every summer important new finds come to light, thanks to the patience and skill of the field crew. These new finds are cleaned, catalogued and conserved by dedicated lab workers.

Here are some of the most interesting recent finds. Please note that some may still be in the process of identification, conservation and/ or restoration. You saw it first, here!
