@martynjb.bsky.social @richardosgood.bsky.social @artefactual.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social This morning's dawn on the West Kennet Avenue - who knew double-yellow lines could look pretty! Some sarsens were later involved.

@weborguk.bsky.social Needs a big screen to view. Tested a light pollution filter on my camera and managed to catch a Geminid meteor near the Pleiades yesterday evening (4 secs exposure). Seems to work!

@stoneclub.bsky.social @englishheritage.bsky.social @archaeol-winscutt.bsky.social @martynjb.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social Stonehenge 1892 Bingley Photo (V&A). No Larkhill to get in the way!

157 years ago, on the 9th of December 1868, the world's first traffic lights were installed outside the Palace of Westminster in London. It used semaphore arms during the day and green/red gas lamps at night. It had to be operated by a constable. It exploded on January 2nd 1869. #otd #history 🗃️

@amandachadburn.bsky.social @mikegill.bsky.social @englishheritage.bsky.social @archaeol-winscutt.bsky.social @artefactual.bsky.social I came to catch the (nearly full) moonrise, but all I got was this🙁

« Ui, bonjour, prends ma monnaie »

This poem is dedicated to anyone making a start on their advent calendar today.

@tessmachling.bsky.social worth a peek!

#TombTuesday @drtobydriver.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social @richardosgood.bsky.social late entry. Pentre Ifan from a few weeks ago. The striations across the right of the capstone are the rain skidding past ☔

#HillfortWednesday Distant view of Sidbury Hill which dominates Salisbury Plain East of the River Avon. An exposed place, capped with Reading Formation geology. It forms the focus for a number of Bronze Age linear ditches.

#StandingStoneSunday @drtobydriver.bsky.social Easy of access, the shapely standing stones at Penrhosfeilu (almost) frame the peak of Mynydd Twr if you look NNW. We stopped by after completing the coast path of the W side of Anglesey last month (recommended!).

The Longstone. Mottistone Down. The stones are all that remain of a long barrow. The Long Stone is thought to have been used as a meeting place during the Saxon period and Mottistone – is a corruption of 'moot stone'.

@ladyliminal.bsky.social managed to get to Ithell Colquhoun at Tate Britain earlier today 👍

@prehistoricsociety.bsky.social @boothicus.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social @martynjb.bsky.social Well worth a read. And thank you again Tom for proving that scientific content can be presented in plain English! 👍

In @nature.com we report the presence of the Mesolithic on Malta - upending everything we knew about the seafaring capabilities of late European hunter-gatherers and pushing back Maltese prehistory by 1000 years.
