We are delighted to receive a dual nomination for the Current Archaeology Awards 2013.
Rescue Dig of The Year The First East Enders
(Museum of London Archaeology/Pre-construct Archaeology/Wessex Archaeology)
The First East Enders, featured in issue 269 of the magazine, has been nominated within the Rescue Dig of the Year category in the Current Archaeology Awards 2013. This category recognises archaeology that has been carried out in areas threatened by human or natural agencies. The London Olympics site certainly fulfils this criterion.
The new Olympic Park provided unprecedented opportunities for excavation, producing 10,000 finds spanning 10,000 years.
