Ferrybridge Henge: The Holmfield Interchange, where the M62 meets the A1(M). But look, a henge, seen to the lower right in this stunning LiDAR image by Dr John Wells. The henge survives as low earthworks but is in danger from ploughing. 📷 Bladup More: http://www.megalithi...

Some of my colleagues use the term 'stone botherer' as slur. I refuse this. We might not view portal tombs as 'ley line hubs' or 'ghost-containment units', but we archaeologists are also stone botherers and I for one am proud of it. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Hello! 👋 Who are we? The LSG are a peer group sharing ideas, enthusiasm and knowledge relating to the archaeological survey & investigation of landscapes. Especially non-intrusive recording and interpretation of what is visible from the ground or air. ➡️ landscapesurvey.org 🇬🇧 #LandscapeArchaeology

Recently, I have been thinking about the vulnerability of rock art and the risks that impact this very specific and quite ubiquitous type of heritage. I was kindly invited by @archscot.bsky.social to deliver a talk on this subject for their 'European Archaeology Day talks'. See you there?

A Stonehenge × Dogger Bank collab from @andydoggerbank.bsky.social - a cogent reminder that understanding how landscapes formed is essential before we start hypothesising how people moved through them.

Summary by Jake Baker-Brown: "27 law students in Vanuatu went to the world's highest court and won. The ICJ ruling they sparked may be the most consequential legal decision in human history. This is what it looks like when ordinary people refuse to accept the limits others set for them."

Lovely wander along Bo’ness foreshore yesterday- some excellent bricks spotted! Could this partial circular brick structure be a surviving part of base of chimney from Carriden Colliery visible on OS maps & in Trove pic? Location fits at least! Interesting area to do some industrial archaeology…
