I'm looking for suggestions of museum/heritage education consultants for a small project, ideally south-west based. Any ideas or recommendations greatly received!

All right, the cover is done and without D&D signifies thanks to the photo skills of an awesome senior and some of my prototype stuff. I'm happy!

Blogpost: I've often mentioned the local meetup I run in conversations on here and elsewhere. Now, after 3 years, here's an overview of how I did it and what we've been playing. pointlessmonument.blot.im/60-systems-a...

This is utterly jaw-dropping. A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils. www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/scho...

Thank you to everyone who attended & to our wonderful speaker @annelisebaer.bsky.social We wil share the recording later. Sign up to our next talk www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1985278908... Jane Miller explores how Archaeology Scotland promotes inclusive community engagement ✨ #archaeology #community

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

The Starfleet Academy TV series presents a futuristic university with diverse cadets and flawed teaching staff. This blog takes a sci-fi premise & uses it to reflect on practice and values in HigherEd. bilt.online/the-pedagogy... #highereducation #academia #curriculum #teaching #university #scifi

Latest episode of the podcast is a masterclass on the 'Ulster Cycle', Táin Bó Cuailgne & Irish literature from Prof. Ruairí Ó hUiginn @scs-dias.bsky.social. We learn how these stories can be valuable to the historian, their lasting relevance & how they've evolved 1/ open.spotify.com/episode/0xoY...

A fantastic resource, especially if you need a break from the doomscrolling

But seriously. We are back! Next week we start shooting #bbcghosts the movie! Huge excitement in the camp, lots of splendid people joining us.

This was the scene when I arrived to collect the lead pigs from the landowner in Oct 24, for safe transfer to the National Museum 😮 It's not often Roman finds are so heavy they're carried on a forklift The pigs are extraordinary..each weighed around 85kg & had to be lifted by two people 💪 📷 TD

WOW IT KEEPS GOING??!

An early WIP of a fantasy-style map of Britain and Ireland in 900 AD that I am working on. Currently I'm adding historically accurate forest and wetland locations (yes I'm a massive nerd)! What are people's thoughts/feedback on how it looks or what I should include? #map #earlymedieval #inkarnate

This house thinks this is the best party political broadcast we've ever seen.

I'm traumatised from digging up these bloody things. There are SO MANY in Ireland it's actually ridiculous.

This is such a shame. What's been happening in EAA over the last six months or so is awful and is certainly putting off many of us from joining or attending. Archaeology will never not be political and I am so proud of all those who have taken a stand against the bullying. #Archaeology 🏺

Thanks for sharing my research!

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Ok folks, I've got a task I need help with. I need to know about high money value detector finds found since 2019 (not including tudor heart or Chew Valley hoard) from news reports, social media posts etc. England & Wales only. Please share, thank you 😊 #Archaeology 🏺 #Treasure #Detecting

🧵 This is what I’ve been using my annual leave for recently, travelling to Devon to explore the rich archaeological heritage of Great Torrington. I volunteer with Dig the Castle, a project started by Dig Director Emily Wapshott MCIfA. @archsengage.bsky.social

Pottery is popping out! The larger brown sherd is Medieval while the jazzy black and white fragment came from a Victorian layer (but we haven’t dated it formally!) #archaeology #pottery #ceramics

Terret rings were rein guides on chariots or carts in late Iron Age/early Roman period. They were set in a line along the yoke in groups of 5. Examples are known from 3rd or 2nd century BC East Yorkshire chariot burials as well as the later 1st century AD. #FindsFriday finds.org.uk/database/art...
