[font=Verdana, 宋体, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][p=30, 2, left]Rolling back centuries of[b]speculation [/b]and digging deep into the [b]private life[/b] of Stratford's famous son. The soil, untouched for 400 years, and it's hoped - the key to understanding more about William Shakespeare's final days.[/p][p=30, 2, left]By the time he moved to New Place, Shakespeare was already a household name. But little is known about how he spent the six years he lived here and that's what this latest [b]dig [/b]is aiming to change.[/p][p=30, 2, left]Kevin Colls, University of Birmingham:[/p][p=30, 2, left]"I think we can learn little bits on what he was eating, what he was drinking, so his sort of lifestyle. We can learn a little about [b]his hobbies[/b] in terms of what he was doing with his time, but the great mystery has to be where he actually lived. Did he live in the grand house along the front of the street or did he live in the [b]very secluded cottage [/b]as documentary evidence suggests, hidden away from view to get on with his work?"[/p][p=30, 2, left]Previous digs all found evidence of Shakespeare's [b]high-status household[/b], including smoking pipes and pottery. The first, almost 150 years ago, was recorded in extraordinary detail but stopped short at [b]the foundations[/b].[/p][p=30, 2, left]It's hoped [b]excavating [/b]deeper than ever before, will reveal even more about William Shakespeare's [b]habits[/b] and [b]shed new light on [/b]what inspired some of the most famous words ever written.[/p][/font]
