Following the 2024 dig, an exhibition was held at The Corinium Museum (Cirencester, England) in which some of the best material was displayed. Hosting the fossils within a museum so close to Cerney Wick allowed local people better access to the discoveries made on their doorstep.
This exhibition also allows us to look back at some of the most interesting fossils to have been discovered this year, including some of the specimens that we saw be extracted, conserved and prepared.
Cerney Wick:
Palaeocast was granted special access to 2024's excavations at Cerney Wick, allowing us to record media from within the field. On our website, you'll find hours of multimedia captured at different stages throughout the field season. We begin with a podcast that introduces the locality and details the plans for the upcoming dig, this is followed by several days of recording at the site itself and finally a record of the legacy of the year’s fieldwork.

We'd like to thank Sally and Neville Hollingworth for their help with putting this series together and for accommodating us in the field. We recognise Hills Quarry Products for making their site so accessible for research and science communication. Thanks to all the volunteers who have contributed to the multimedia in this series and especially to Laura Hobbs who has provided assistance throughout. Finally, thanks to all our backers on Patreon who help make projects like this possible.
