Time Team - Sunday 6th June
 Page 1/4
The following photographs were taken while the Time Team were excavating the Wemyss Caves.

Some photographs may not be as sharp as I would like, as some of the photographs were taken in low light situations. I could not use flash (all the time) as filming was taking place or because of low light and people moved or I could not hold the camera steady!

The images that follow give a flavour of the day, they record some of the activities on the day. Some pictures are exclusive and will more than likely not be seen anywhere else.
