Abstract
The excavations at Verulamium inaugurated by the Research Committee of this Society were continued a second season from 9th July to 31st August 1956. They were far more extended than had been planned, for shortly before the start news was received that work on the new road was expected to begin early in 1957, much earlier than had been anticipated. It became necessary, therefore, to double the scale of operations in order that no major site should remain unexplored. Accordingly up to thirty-one paid labourers were employed and the maximum number of helpers at any one time was eighty-five. The sum of £2,520 was expended, of which the Ministry of Works subscribed £800. On a site so extended and so divided by hedges and modern traffic, the direction of the dig would have been impossible without skilled assistance; twelve site supervisors were thus in all employed.
