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

p.s. It turns out that that wire mesh baskets were not to be used after all the hard work in building them. It was planned to fill them with rocks and place as a defense against erosion. They would have become a refuge for plant and animal life. It was thought that there was nothing significant to protect at the spot they were going to be placed. I would have thought it would have been good to have set them up as a test of a possible sea defense to protect some of the coastline.
