Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service staff from the Broadway excavation and analysis team We’ll be back out on site soon to investigate further on the other side of the stream, but in the meantime post-excavation analysis is well underway: Senior Finds Archaeologist Jane has recorded over 2600 artefacts already, with thousands more to go! We’ll share more finds and stories in the coming months, including more information on the mysterious Beaker – the burial seemingly without a body.
