Time Team - Sunday 6th June
Page 3/4
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.


Work stops at the shore dig to discuss and debate and share findings.

Some of the findings from the shore dig.

Above and below: A couple of shots looking at what has been
revealed during this dig on the shore.





An upright stone can be seen in this shot, that caused some interest.


Some rocks just lend themselves to a natural hammock shape.
Again a time to relax and read your favourite book in idealic
surroundings and great weather.

Above and Below: Well there is only one way in to the Sloping Cave.



Above and below: Filming gets underway in the Sloping Cave.
I never knew you could get so many people in one small cave plus equipment.





Again someone finds time to chill out on the beach while there
is a frenzy of activity all around.


Hello, Is there anyone there... don't these radios work through stone?


Interested onlookers peer into the Sloping Cave.




Is is surprising how many people can fit onto a sloping entrance to a
cave, again cameras at the ready.


Two young enthusiasts make their way to the
Sloping Cave.


Above and below:
There is only one way in...  and only one way out...



In such a small cave it can be difficult to see who is in there,
and what they are doing...


Equipment being loaded on the shoreline.

Above and below: Many individuals and family groups came down
to see what was happening. It was encouraging to see so many people
on the shore, like in the old days.











Now this would appear to be some kind of horn.
It certainly got a lot of attention from the public.

and from the experts as well...



A very strange serpent like creature head. I believe the head is original
and was found in 1865. For the full story about this item you will, like me have
to wait to see the finished programme.
