Flag Fen is drying out. Large sections will soon disappear forever. It's pretty much now or never if we want to understand Britain's largest and most impressive prehistoric wooden structure.

The May/June edition of #BritishArchaeology is out now! A great article about Flag Fen at risk and its future. International membership is also available for @archaeologyuk.bsky.social which includes the magazine as part of the subscription! #Archaeology 🏺 www.archaeologyuk.org/our-work/bec...

Eeeeesh - 😮‍💨 unfortunately no surprises 😩. There is however, a more worrying trend of academic egos wanting to give broadcast media scoops before publishing. We seen this with Netflix and Naledi and with MPP and BBC doc, I’m sure there’s more examples - sensationalism before science 🤷🏻‍♀️

Merry Christmas everyone to you and yours x 🌲 🎅🏽 Very chuffed with my Christmas Eve last post gift of knitted #trowel tree decorations - thanks @archaeologyuk.bsky.social ….. #Christmas #Archaeology

Sad news of Colin Renfrew’s passing - his co- authored seminal #Archaeology book sits on the shelves of past & present undergraduates and each reprint edition often used as shorthand to date the year of student intake. Sending condolences to his family, friends & colleagues.

I remember the time I got laid off a week from my maternity leave …

Well that statement blew up on the oxen musk hell site - I stand by it and how the effects of being underpaid and undervalued can have ripple effects into later life - do read BAJR poverty impact report on #Archaeology 🏺and the profession it’s pretty stark 👇🏽

Morning! Welcome new followers! How’s the #Bluesky for you?

Very kind ☺️ of you to say! This is the US version but it’s available in French, Turkish, Greek and the English version all around the world! And also the first #archaeology book to win a British Book of the Year award! #Kidlit #Christmas #nibbies

Hey #indigenous #archaeologists this might be of interest to you 👇🏽👇🏽

Archaeology is always political: from the countries we work in and the type of questions we ask, to where our funding comes from and where we publish. You may not always agree with me but I hope you'll stick around. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

I’m supposed to be writing but I’m really just hanging out here 🤫 🦋 #kidlit #Archaeology #writers #procrastinating

This site is expanding at pace - how many #Archaeology starter packs are there and please can I be added to them? Sending this out to the #Bluesky - sphere 🏺

Good morning everyone! Wow, overwhelmed by new followers. How you all doing today? #Bluesky
