Archaeology Excavation Round Barrow
EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photo print, captured by the talented Damian Grady, showcases the Siddington excavation in Gloucestershire. Dated back to 2015, this site holds immense historical significance as it reveals a possible Bronze Age round barrow that was once seen only as a cropmark. Now stripped and undergoing meticulous excavation prior to gravel extraction, this rescue mission is unearthing secrets from our ancient past. The soilmark visible in the photograph serves as a tangible reminder of the rich heritage buried beneath our feet. It hints at an era long gone, when communities thrived and rituals were performed upon these sacred grounds. As archaeologists carefully dig through layers of earth, they unravel stories that have remained dormant for centuries. The importance of preserving such sites cannot be overstated; they provide invaluable insights into our ancestors' way of life and contribute to our understanding of human history. This image serves as a poignant reminder that every inch excavated brings us closer to unlocking mysteries that have eluded us for generations. Damian Grady's skillful photography captures not just the physical landscape but also evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity about what lies beneath its surface. It reminds us all to appreciate the delicate balance between progress and preservation when it comes to safeguarding our cultural heritage for future generations.
