Our PhD students Kath Page and Adam Markham led a session for the 2025 SGSAH summer school in Glasgow last week. #archaeology #postgraduate #research #ThinkUHI #UHIResearch

Always great to be in Glasgow, especially for three days of interesting @sgsah.bsky.social events, including presenting at the second year PhD student symposium (tysm @fordeviot.bsky.social for the action shot). Always fun to think about how to make the medieval capture other people's minds

What a privilege to spend the morning delivering a @sgsah.bsky.social workshop on how a rock band might make history. We presented "21 Theses on The Tenementals", and learned loads from the PhD students who attended. It was a treat (as were the well-munched muffins). Thanks to Mariam for the photo!
