Is this a grave??

A pit lined with flat stones set up on edge

No bones found yet. Scraping down very carefully. Photos taken Monday morning 1 July 2013

Busy scraping the edge of a foundation

This year's dig is right beside the road

A drop of glass

A teardrop of glass

found inside the square area

Rhynie Woman's Pictish Café

was open in 14 the Square, for the duration of the 2013 archaeology dig.
(Sunday June 30th to Saturday July 6th.)
Occasional music as well as coffee, soup, cakes.
And there was a glass case in the café so that the 'finds' were on display in Rhynie within a couple of hours of being found; instead of going off to some museum in Aberdeen or somewhere. And a ceilidh on Friday 5 July
