The Knock-e-Dhooney (KeD) Boat Burial Located at the highest point of the Parish of Andreas (I don't envy whoever had to drag it ashore and uphill), the KeD burial is strinkingly similar to Balladoole in size and the types of grave goods recovered, despite being located on the opposite end of Man.

In this ancient Assyrian letter, astronomers complain that they can’t do their jobs or teach astronomy “because of the ilku-duty”, a type of taxation in the form of labour. “we cannot keep the watch of the king, and the pupils do not learn the scribal craft” cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/artifacts/33...

The beautiful #Pictish Fowlis Wester cross slab, as seen today in the Parish Church. Two seated figures sit on chairs, and a beast devours a human figure, all surrounded by a cross and other delicate and delightful figures and interlace motifs. What do we think is happening in the various scenes?

The Balladoole Boat Burial Built into what were likely the ramparts of an Iron Age hill fort and displacing several earlier, Christian graves (maybe by accident…maybe not), Balladoole is one of the largest boat burials found in Northern Britain. So grateful to have finally seen it in-person 🙏

The last big 'reveal' of the Unwrapping the Galloway Hoard AHRC-funded project: the reading of the long runic inscription. Proud to say I played a small part in cracking it by spotting the two puncts around the final rune. The Hoard has now begun its worid tour! www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
