Our end-of-season meeting on 26 October: made sure all our kit was in good working order, each project was moving forward, and new projects coming online.

Vince is dealing with the appropriate authorities in France and if all goes well, we will return there soon.

Bill is now trained for geophysical surveying.

Brian is now to start digital mapping for Alkham Valley and we intend this to include all archaeological sites there - ours and all others. This may be a world first, a 3D digital model of an area with sites from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Saxon.

A summary of our work on Greco-India and its impact on Western Civilisation is now available on Google: Antiquity. This is a modern history, using archaeological methodologies.

A 'thank you' to the many specialists who are providing us with their data and expertise. We are receiving papers, photos and excavation reports from some of the world's leading scholars and archaeologists.

John is building a Google Map of ancient trading routes. This is available through Google (Trade Routes of Antiquity) and is embedded in our site for Antiquity. It will contain details on each archaeological site along the Silk Road (land) and Incense Route (sea and land).
