Nasty people wrapping themselves in holiness in order to be bullies... On a video about Hadrian's Wall no-less!

Having read about the Anglo-Saxon double burial uncovered by Time Team and written about by @killgrove.bsky.social for LiveScience which I reposted yesterday I got to thinking about this particular burial and emotional connections in archaeology. archaeomedicus.blogspot.com/2026/04/in-n...

As always, great fun recording this! I was busy exploring Google Earth to ascertain how the mound sits in the landscape. I have crazy ideas, but that's for another time!

Scandinavia's largest mound is not a burial, yet the story of its emergence and subsequent interpretations is a truly fascinating one! All about it in this episode of "Mounds & Memory". As usual with @archaeodeathprof.bsky.social #medievalsky #ancientsky youtu.be/H3IaMPFKCrY

Lessons from an Early Iron Age Mass Grave: An Archaeodeath Perspective on Gomolava howardwilliamsblog.wordpress.com/2026/02/27/l...

Disappointed to see how many colleagues and friends follow neo-Nazi history, archaeology and mythology accounts

I certainly wasn’t expecting this article in the Guardian on the Milan fashion week to have a final section on Sutton Hoo

I very much enjoyed VALHAll:A when i went last year: it's a great event and so important to see academia and living history coming together like that. Thanks for the report on this year's and I look forward to hearing that it'll be running again in 2027!
