Archaeological Excavation Site

Nine Travellers Site

The dig site sprawls across layered earthworks where stone circles once stood, now partially excavated under harsh sunlight that bleaches the exposed soil to chalky white. Surveying equipment dots the uneven ground, tripods sagging slightly from the weight of readjusted instruments. A damaged hyperspace window generator rests in Emilia's arms, its cracked casing glinting with unstable energy. The air carries the scent of dry earth and metal, mingling with the faint ozone tang of recent temporal disturbance. Scattered tools and notebooks pile near a collapsed tent, their papers fluttering in the persistent wind that ruffles the edges of dig plans and academic journals alike.
