THRUPE LITE EXTRA
The Index.

Thrupe Lite EXTRA
is being developed as an extension to the Thrupe Lite website. It contains
material unconnected with the cave excavation at the two Thrupe
sites, but which may be of some general interest to those
involved in cave excavation. There are examples of
cave excavation techniques, such as timbering as well as
historical haulage and transport systems.
Thrupe Lite EXTRA
also contains photographs of some other cave sites that are
currently being excavated on Mendip. At the moment,
this section is young and small, but it will grow.
