Hi Vesa here!! Yesterday we arrived to our accommodation in
Strathallan School. After settling down we were introduced to the area of the
research and the landscape of the Strathearn Valley. During the same evening we
also got out hands dirty for the first time, as we begun cleaning up the
trenches in Leadketty. This morning powered by a massive breakfast, we were
divided in to three groups and sent into the sites that are being excavated
during the summer 2012. The sites are located at Leadketty, Castle Craig and
the village of Dunning, and we expect them to reveal more information about the
meaning of the landscape in Forteviot in the past. After a day of endless
shovelling, hoeing, mattocking and barrowing the site were begging to take
shape! We gladly await the treasure that they are hiding. The weather was sunny
and the first day passed quickly, and we were looking forward to opening a nice
cold beer!
