It might be a bit grim outside but there are little pockets of loveliness when you go looking..... #UKGardening 🌱

Very pleased to have this go live 🤩🤩🤩

Very excited to see this out in the wild 👀🏺 It's a real collaborative monograph which details the excavation of the Bowl Hole & provides a wider overview of the excavations at the castle. The first chapter, co-authored with Graeme Young & Barbara Yorke, is freely available to read 👉

Christmas wreath making was so much fun this year at the Walled Garden School in #Hawarden, #NorthWales 🍊🌲 All the foliage was foraged locally #UKGardening 🌱

Very proud of the work we do with the YAC 🏺🤩

That's a wrap on the 2025 #FestivalOfArchaeology🏺. Extra special to celebrate it in my home town of #Bradford with family and friends. Huge thank you to Photoworks & our fantastic 'My Heritage' artists who joined us for the weekend to celebrate their work exploring #archaeology and #photography ⛏️📸

Sweet William's from seed. I wasn't expecting them to flower this year 🤩 #gardening #gardeninguk #flowers 🇬🇧🌱

Calling all 16-21 year-olds.......

Today we launch the My Heritage online exhibition with our friends at Photoworks, funded by the @HeritageFundUK It's probably my favourite project I've been involved with lately as it was so great to tap into my creative side and explore #archaeology🏺 from a fresh perspective. #photography 📸

Lots going on today celebrating and platforming young people in the heritage sector ⬇️⬇️⬇️🏺

It might be drizzly today but the flowers are loving it #gardening #gardensky #nofilter #roses

Looking forward to the photowalk in #Bradford this Sunday. It's free and easy to book 👇👇👇 🏺📸

It's been a busy busy day at Chester House Estate exploring archaeology and wellbeing for this year's #FestivalOfArchaeology. We had loads of fun and learnt a few things along the way. @dfrearson.bsky.social turned me into Building Detective 🕵️‍♀️ with her great activity. Till next year....

😅🐑🐏

I'm back again (sorry 😅)..... #AskAnArchaeologist Day! is still going strong. I'd love to know where your interest in #archaeology might take you outside the UK. Mine includes jungles 🌿

What got me into #archaeology? More from #AskAnArchaeologist Day! 🏺

We found a dead woodcock on the roof of a City block, it had followed the Thames and got worn out according to RSPB 🙁 Our faunal specialist took it home to bury in his garden. #AskAnArchaeologist #FestivalOfArchaeology

Who would have guessed that the main theme emerging from this question was .... birds (alive and some not so alive 😅) @archaeologyuk.bsky.social #AskAnArchaeologist Day!

One for @romanpalace.bsky.social but when I was digging there as a schoolgirl in the mid 1990s there was a guy with a hawk that used to sit by the trench. Or did I imagine that?

It's #AskAnArchaeologist Day part of the @archaeologyuk.bsky.social #FestivalOfArchaeology. My question is: what's the best/worst/weirdest thing you have come home with after a dig? 🤔 I'll start..... a volunteer bought me a cutting of a framberry plant. It's 7, survived a house move and a flood!

Grown from seed sweet peas 😍🌱 #gardening #smallwins

This is my little person. Proud Mummy moment 🤩

Dusted off the pencils and made the most of a sunny lunchtime ✏️

Bodnant Garden @nationaltrust.org.uk blew my socks 🧦 off yesterday. The trees were something else 🌳🌲

A rescue, a cutting, a surprise and a gift. Treats from the new(ish) garden 🪏🌱🏡 #gardening #flowers #foxglove #lupin #roses
