About this event
After the trowels are put down, the archaeological work continues in the post-excavation’ phase. This work involves looking in detail at all the objects we dug up. We weight, count, catalogue and describe everything that we found so that we can understand even more about how the Bishops’ Palace was used. Normally this work happens in laboratories behind closed doors, but we’ve decided to bring these objects back to Bishop Auckland and work public view here in our ‘open lab’.
