Glad you enjoyed it Rachel - thanks for chairing so wonderfully!
It’s hard to describe the COMMIOS experience, It was jaw-dropping, all day. Stunning work by Ian Armit and team. I can’t wait for you all to see it. It’s beyond all our expectations. A whole new understanding of Iron Age Britain is about to drop.
