Great to visit the Cern Abbey excavations today. And an absolute treat to have a mediaeval knife made for me out of recycled mediaeval metal from the spoil heap. Congratulations on another successful season @hugh-willmott.bsky.social

A distraction from more interesting things 👀😏

Does anyone know of any figures or reports associated with the increase in known archaeological sites since the establishment of Lidar analysis to map and record features within woodlands?

Our latest paper is now available, open source! Everyone Has to Start Somewhere: Democratisation of Digital Documentation and Visualisation in 3D Rich Potter , Derek Pitman , Lawrence Shaw and Christian Horn www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

This was an awful lot of fun. Catch up on a video this weekend which covers our adventures at the Scottish Crannog Centre with the @archaeologyuk.bsky.social at the launch of last year’s festival of archaeology youtu.be/lnkFZSr7y2I?...

The #Durotriges25 team at the end of the last day's briefing Thanks to them and everyone else who participated in the Great Durotrigian Dig We love you guys! 👋

Great to drop into the @durotrigesdig.bsky.social open day today. Isla’s first dig, and what a high bar it has set. Lots of lovely friendly familiar faces to go along with a fascinating site 👍🙌🏼

Great to present at the World Archaeological Congress this morning (Theme 10 / Session 4: Digital Applications in Storytelling for Cultural Heritage) with our paper: Rooted in History. Proud to share how digital storytelling supports Forestry England’s Historic Environment Strategy. #WAC #Heritage

The beautiful Isla join our world last Thursday. Only took a week to get some cultural heritage into her new little life. First up, the local Steam Fair. 🚂

It was a pleasure to attend the World Heritage UK 10th anniversary celebration in Westminster yesterday evening. These places matter, not just for their beauty and history, but for the stories they tell about who we are, where we’ve come from, and what we value for future generations.

I wonder why disagreement in archaeology turn so quickly into public criticism. It doesn’t just divide us it risks distancing the local societies and interest groups we should be working with. Their choices may not be align with best practice, but that’s where guidance matters more than judgement.

Last month, Forestry England launched its new publication, Rooted in History. This is now available to access through our website for everyone to enjoy and consider www.forestryengland.uk/sites/defaul...

A brilliant couple days with the @landscapesurvey.bsky.social still my favourite group to be a part of. Brilliant people and fascinating landscape discussions. Made all the better by a quick glimpse of the partial eclipse!

A great day out and around Bodmin yesterday with the @landscapesurvey.bsky.social group. An extremely dynamic landscape with historic china clay extraction still drastically modifying the landscape today.

Great day out with the @landscapesurvey.bsky.social looking at the landscapes around Bodmin

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... At 2m (6.6ft) tall, the Farley Moor standing stone was previously believed to be an isolated monument. But Forestry England said excavations uncovered evidence of a ceremonial platform and identified that five other nearby stones would once have been standing.

An exciting day to share the incredible results of our excavations at Farley Moor standing stone last October www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@lawrence-shaw.bsky.social Nice work...looking forward to learning more. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The release of this Time Team episode marks the end of a ridiculous month of outputs. I’m super proud of this excavation, the results and the finished program. Stay tuned this Saturday to see what we discover! youtu.be/welIsd_MRKo?...

An incredible day in the sun at The Newt museum and reconstructed Roman villa. A perfect blend of tactile, exploration, sensory, digital and audio stimulation. 10/10 can’t recommend it enough. thanks for having AVAS along #archaeology #museum #heritage #livingheritage #digitalheritage

Last night, we launched Rooted in History at the Royal Geographical Society. It was great to share this Forestry England publication with government departments, heritage professionals, and academics, with inspiring talks from Mike Seddon, Gus Casely-Hayford, and Neil Redfern.

📢 We’re at Rooted in History tonight! 📢 The CBA is attending Forestry England's Rooted in History event, where our Executive Director, Neil Redfern, joins an incredible lineup of speakers. We’ll be sharing live updates on our stories, X and Bluesky, so stay tuned! 📸

Looking forward to showing the Forestry England Deep Root, Dark Earth: Freeminers of the Forest of Dean film at the Bath Archaeological-Heritage Film Festival next month! Find out more details here: bathboxoffice.org.uk/whats-on/551...

Proud to share Deep Roots, Dark Earth: Freeminers of the Forest of Dean, a film I helped bring to life. Exploring the grit, passion & heritage of one of England’s oldest mining traditions. Watch history unfold underground. #Freemining #DeepRootsDarkEarth youtu.be/uoaO-ls1fqI?...

This has been a long time in the making. So looking forward to sharing it wider on the 12th March.

So pleased with how this video turned out—celebrating 100 years of Bedgebury National Pinetum! A century of conserving some of the world’s rarest conifers and creating a truly special landscape. Check it out! #Bedgebury100 #Pinetum youtu.be/E3FficZZkh4?...

Our co-authered article, The Future of the Historic Environment in Forestry in the UK: Maximising Opportunities or Focusing on Impacts?, with David, Ed and Matt, has now landed www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

At a bowling for soup concert with @derekpitman.bsky.social and they sell 2 pint glasses. I feel like a hobbit.

The Saturday post brings with it the perfect distraction.

Heartbreaking to see Wykeham Forest severely damaged by illegal off-roading. 🌲 This heritage crime destroys wildlife, history, and a cherished space for all. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An interesting position and questions about the role of the historic environment in the outdoors www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

See you in 2025 😁👍🇨🇦❄️
