A group of Otago University students and graduates are currently excavating a two-thousand-year old archaeological dig site in Merida, Spain.
Their finds from the ancient Roman colony so far include a bone die used for gaming, a carved bone hairpin, as well as some pottery pieces.
Dr Dan Osland from the University of Otago's Classics programme is leading the expedition, and he speaks to Todd Zaner.
