Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishments: Search the excavation site
Examine the Restricted access sign, open the Wicket on the right and enter the excavation site. Walk along, until you reach Domum Hadriano. Go inside through the wide open door (click on it to hear Sherlock's comment). From the Desk opposite the entrance, take a Document (Hidden temple of Mithras; 2 pages). Look at the Map hanging above the desk.
Examine the Shelf on the wall. Take another Document (Curses and beliefs). Approach the low Desk near the door and look at the things on top. You will notice the next Document (Tauroctony knife; 2 pages) which you should take and some Metal cubes (Mould pieces) and one more Document (Mithraic Mysteries; 2 pages; also an Evidence in the Casebook).
Leave this place and head to a wooden platform opposite the building. Go left, towards a sign saying "Area 1 - Triclinium". Go downstairs and examine the Fresco on the floor - you will see Cyclops and Vulcan.

Leave the area using the stairs on the left and head left towards some barrels and a sign saying "Area 2 - Pits". Go behind the barrels and take a look at the Ropes. Examine the deep Pit below the scaffolding (on the right) - Holmes will pull up the rope hanging from the top. Examine the Archeological tools that you obtained this way and take the Trowel.
Now, head to the right, towards some ruined columns and a sign saying "Area 5 - Temple" (to the left of the hut where Watson is waiting). Go to the end of the ruins (take a look at the Hooks in the box as you go) and examine the statues: Neptune and Minerva. There is also a Bull statue nearby.
From there, head left towards another hut (by the river, on the right), but before you go inside, step onto a small platform to the right of the hut. Examine the Map and the Schematic on the Board.
In the hut (Arturus Domum) examine the objects on the Shelves opposite the entrance. From the top shelf, take one Document (Bentcliffe's power; 2 pages) and from the bottom shelf, another one (Gastraphetes; 2 pages).
Go to the right, towards the table with a Dismounted device on top of it. Examine the Schematic on the wall and the device itself.
Deduction
Connect "Effective arrival" with "Pitkin's complaint". You will obtain two options: "Pitkin's worries" and "Pitkin's hopes".

Leave the hut and walk along the track on the right. Step onto the first one from two wooden platforms on your left. Walk along the platform until you reach a sign saying "Area 4 - Tablinium". Go to the bottom of the excavation site (to the right). Approach the wall in front of you and activate Holmes's talent. Examine the Wall - Sherlock will notice that it was recently covered with mud. Use the trowel that you've found in the pit to scrape the mud off the wall - the most important part to uncover is the inscription at the top (Frigidarium).
Use the map to go to Strand Lane Bath.
