Seeing lots of buzz about the Yorkshire Neolithic chalk 'drums'. Not being funny, but 'eyebrows and face' isn't really what I saw. What could be more comforting for a child heading alone into the unknown than mother's breast? Not a hill(s?) I'm prepared to die on btw. Just another perspective

Today I am mostly meant to be writing about the depiction of barbarians in classical art All I can think of, however, is Arminius of the Cherusci playing a shouty bird man in Flash Gordon Varus's alive?

My first job was in the Elms Farm visitor centre and we had a big blown up copy of Toby the Trowel as part of our interpretation. It was very good! If I remember correctly it made our lives more pleasant by anticipating the questions we got asked overandoverandover again. #archaeology #heritage

Aerial photography for archaeology would be a far more romantic pursuit nowadays if we still flew in biplanes, trailing silk scarves

Scythed wheels? ✔️ White cocktail dress? ✔️ Snowy white horses? ✔️ Men in furs? ✔️ Yep, you just know when it’s a mid century Boudica depiction. Waddington’s jigsaw, c.1954. #BoudicaFriday #Echolands

The remains of one of the towers at Hardknott Roman Fort in Cumbria. Located on the western side of the Hardknott Pass at 800 feet, the fort was built between AD120 and AD138. 📸 My own. #RomanFortThursday #RomanBritain #Archaeology

So I reckon if I make 7k followers it'll be time to post some vintage 1990s 'Toby the Trowel' archaeology cartoons, fresh from the archives...🧐😮🤩 The ever-necessary 'How Sites Get Buried!' might be the best one to release first on BlueSky...🤔

#Chester branch of the Edinburgh Woollen Mill now open on Northgate street, with hypocaust back on display! Possibly but not certainly part of a baths suite in the commander's residence (praetorium).

Yesterday a knowledgeable neighbour led me on the hike, half overgrown with spiky scrub, to the “shaman’s cave” in the desert rocks. There are remnants of Cahuilla wall paintings & a chamber open to the sky that I was able to wriggle into. (1 of 3)
