This is a lovely story: neighbours working together and creating a shared community space share.google/sM5KMuI6uqVC...

This is a really neat bit of work on Bankside as an entertainment space, based on years of painstaking professional excavation. A hard read for a dog-lover, but fascinating nonetheless www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I absolutely love this bit of Scotland: massive fieldwork envy

I love these 'restorations' precisely because they're palimpsests: this is just one gloriously camp moment in this statue's life. The craftspeople who have given her her various makeovers will always brought different visions and levels of skill

This is a lovely read on why natural history museums matter, as a fragment of the ecosystems that once existed, but also as assemblages of human actions, impacts, and biases

I'm absolutely mesmerized by this fantastic animated infographic: brilliant way of presenting processes

Neatly dated early hominin presence on Wallacea: securely excavated stone tools from site of Colio, on Sulawesi -between 1.04 Ma and 1.48 Ma.

Here’s a tired parent 1-2-3 Sits by the bedside What does she see? She sees her baby sleeping Finally At last Books piled on the table, An empty water glass Cinderella in the cellar, A peach, A pear, A plum. Thank you Allan Alhberg, From this very grateful mum www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

This is sad news: peepo was one of my favourite books to read with Small when she was proper small: share.google/888cPG5tgYO8...

A more detailed look at coastlines after the LGM in the Middle East to consider where how people moved through now-submerged parts of their landscapes. I love these textured palaeo-DEMs for a different perspective on hunter-gatherer worlds. comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/geoscience/a...

Sent down a rabbit hole of these amazing creations of Dutch artist Theo Jansen: his strandbeests are made of electric cable pipe, and their evolution classified by him into different families and phases share.google/As55hTCBE909...

Why haven't I ever seen this West Atlantic sea serpent before? It's phenomenal!

A lovely bit of work between Sanday volunteers, Coastal and Marine Wessex, and Historic Scotland to identify and trace the many lives of the Sanday wreck. I love that people had pieces of the ship built into their homes - becoming part of the treeless island landscape share.google/zaBSyyTSeuBH...

Happy "End of the Ice Age" to all who celebrate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNTI...

Seahorses are absolutely magical: some cheering news here on how the introduction of eco-moorings off Studland is helping increase numbers share.google/AHXHTpkpAhgY...

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Some fascinating detail on the Brown Bank formation with implications for thinking about difference in north sea versus channel region patterns of Late Neanderthal occupation

My beautiful, cowardly boy is getting a cut patched under general anaesthetic because he finds the vets so terrifying: a tense end to the weekend

Some hopeful news in relation to how ash tree populations are responding to Ash die-back: Rapid polygenic adaptation in a wild population of ash trees under a novel fungal epidemic | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I thoroughly enjoyed this thoughtful paper on Benjamin Harrison's Wealden itineraries. Science, movement and imagination enmeshed to access new worlds in for this gentle giant of Late Victorian Palaeolithic archaeology #walking #landscapes #geoarchaeology www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

A group of artists are staging a performance inspired by Russell Hoban’s Riddley Walker in Canterbury, UK on 12th June. Participants in the project include Russ's son Wieland Hoban. Find out more (and check out a video clip) on the official Hoban site. #Hoban100

Bottled the first flush of spring to enjoy in the heart of Midwinter: beech leaf noyau from a nearby wood that is special to me, gathered at the peak violet of new bluebells and unfurling beech

What a night! Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for Beltain Celtic Fire Festival 2025, we hope you had a brilliant time! We love sharing this special night with you once a year, and welcoming in the summer with a magical night🔥 More pics coming soon! #butserbeltain

#Beltain fires have been lit, and NOW the may blossom is out

We need EVERYONE to see this advert for a Head of Operations at the Palace (£40-45k). Otherwise we might get some kind of numpty in charge. Please share. If we get 50 shares we'll post a video of #CuratorRob playing a hoover like a didgeridoo. hr.breathehr.com/recruitment/...

@butserancientfarm.co.uk amazing #Beltain once again, with @hannahfluck.bsky.social

@prehistorian.bsky.social looking over some Quaternary mapping offshore of Northumberland and the font Wessex use on ArcPro makes me see Shitbottle, just like in real life

If, like me, you are a sucker for a hero dog story, try these. Don't mind me, it's just something in my eye.... www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Brand new badge for the campfire blanket, and it's a bit of a special one @butserancientfarm.co.uk #TheScouts

Post a Gif of who you wanted to be as a kid

Me and small (not so small!) had a crafting day, at her insistencep

This is an interesting read, and some fascinating papers referenced to follow up on: but human grief is by no means one thing, but a socially mediated response. And I definitely have at least one friend who mourns like a macaque

New tools from BGS and partners to model the impact of rapid climate change around the #coast

15 years ago I was stuck in Jersey (the hardship!) with my OH and that @mattpope.bsky.social: we ended up having to get a condor ferry back and sleep on the floor (pregnant: me) to get him (Definitely not the OH!) back for the Brighton marathon www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

Looking forward to catching up: it's fantastic when workshops like this are made accessible in this way. And we could all do with a bit more co-operation in our prehistories

This is a neat bit of work: mega landscape-scale taphonomy and it's impact on our reconstructions of dinosaur populations www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/ap...

🧵 Is this a Dire wolf... 🤔? No... Our @erc.europa.eu Beasts to Craft team led by Élodie Lévêque uncovered the true identity of mysterious hairy covers on #medieval #Cistercian #manuscripts - they're ... 👇

And, as someone with a dog in my family, I feel deeply sad for the animals involved in this experiment. The forced pregnancies: how many were carried? The lack of a social structure to 'be' whatever these canid hybrids are

I know we could all use some good news right now, and I love Ice Age animals and Game of Thrones as much as the next person. But as someone who writes about evolution and extinction, ecology and conservation, for a living, I’ve gotta say this Dire Wolf hoopla is deeply problematic. A short thread 🧵🧪

I'm a #couch25k frequent flier (trust the process, it always gets me back into running). With incredible skies like this up on King Barrow Ridge and frost on the ground, working on the edge of the Stonehenge landscape is huge privilege; makes it very easy to get out and running

We're hiring! Lovely job with lovely people for a prehistoric pottery specialist

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy would have been a lot quicker if Control had just thought to check who had added Karla to the group chat...

We're hiring! Join our team investigating changing human behaviour on a landscape scale, across the UK and offshore: www.wessexarch.co.uk/geoarchaeolo...

@markknight63.bsky.social : if you know, you know

Oh, this is sad news: Kanzi was my little brothers age. Learning about him absolutely changed my perspective on our bonobo cousinshttps://www.scientificamerican.com/article/kanzi-the-bonobo-who-learned-language-and-made-stone-tools-dies-at-age-44/

A new visual arts exhibition, 'The New Scroby Sands Offshore Wind Farm Information Centre', launches today at East Gallery in Norwich, by artists Arieh Frosh and Ed Compson. The exhibit includes material from a number of our projects @bradarch.bsky.social More info below

This is a brilliant listen. Jacqueline McKinley of Wessex Archaeology on today’s episode of The Life Scientific. She explains things beautifully, in an all-too a rare piece of public exposure for the importance of work in the commercial archaeology sector ☺️ www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I can hear the SWs meeting now. "Hmm. Listeners seem to really hate the cricket." "Shall we drop it?" "No no, wait a minute. We just need a new angle..." "What about if we just focus on the tedious admin?" "Perfect!" #TheArchers

An absolutely magical weekend for 8th Winchester Cubs and Scouts @butserancientfarm.co.uk : huge thanks to the team there - and especially the BRILLIANT Josh - for giving our kids such an amazing experience
