We're back with part two of our podcast series, starting off with an episode about community archaeology and how the average citizen can get involved with their local heritage.  We're joined by Sue Garland, a local of Feltwell village in the UK, who spearheaded a project to rebuild the medieval wall around the village's Anglo-Saxon church.  In this episode, Sue takes our intrepid host around the site of the project and talks a bit about what goes into community archaeology.
