After Ending

Wharram Percy is a deserted medieval village in North Yorkshire, England. The site has become the most archeologically explored site in Britain. Between 1950 and 1990 students, commercial archeologists and academics would descend upon the village for a three week excavation every July. The digs were not only a site of intensive research, but a rite of passage, an epistemological testing ground and a sizable undertaking of group authorship.
