I&#8217;m always struck by the way that excavators manipulate their bodies whilst digging, fitting themselves into tiny gaps, like those internet meme photos of cats in glass bowls.<\/p>\n<p>The angles necessary to really get your trowel into the corners of a Tudor drain, and the flicking of the wrist needed to excavate the bottom of a 17th century trench, all results in yoga-like positions. I took a few snaps in the second week of the dig that I wanted to share with you.<\/p>\n<p>We also had a visit from Peter Wheeler in the second week of the season. Peter is an excellent photographer, and I couldn&#8217;t resist including some of his photos here.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 435px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
