Last week we took our students on a field trip to Sussex, and we stayed at the Field Studies Council hostel at Flatford Mill which was absolutely stunning. Anyone recognise the famous painting inspired by this view? Some wonderful wildlife there too- I got aggressively barked at by a Muntjac.

I really need the Microsoft stream AI generated auto captions to know that I am talking about Filters in excel, not Philtres... I'm taking this as a direct act of hostility towards the Yorkshire accent.

I've been searching through old fieldwork photos from my Epipalaeolithic excavations in Jordan for a class, and found this brilliant image from a visit to the Monastery in Petra. I was so pleased that the view signposted. I'd have probably missed it otherwise...

Every two years I teach a session on domestication, and we talk about the environmental context behind the origins of agriculture in the near east. I always think of a friend of mine from university that thought that the Younger Dryas was a person and it makes me chuckle.

Abbey house museum has a fond place in my heart from memorable family visits as a child to school visits. It would be a real shame for the museum to close and for others to miss out on the opportunity to visit.

The tally is counted, I've managed to read 29 novels this year, 10 more than 2024's count. My favourite from this year was 'The list of suspicious Things' by Jennie Godfrey, it gave me nostalgia for growing up in Yorkshire and was funny, moving, as well thought provoking.

Excellent thread about the Bronze Age site indicating the massacre and butchery of people. Interestingly close to Gough's cave which is the site of Upper Palaeolithic Cannibalism. Maybe it's a Somerset thing? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It's all fun and games in the Zooarchaeology lab until someone gets hurt... My new lab assistant seems to have angered the reference collection. #zooarchaeology #elfontheshelf #labwork

My new lab assistant has been helping me to set up for Thursday's Zooarchaeology class on Bird bones. As you can see from his lab coat and gloves he takes Elf and Safety very seriously...

Based on fitbit stats a two hour teaching session increases my step count by about 1,500-2,000 steps (the upper end appears to correlate with my favourite topics of interest!).
