There is a very large, circular enclosure just southeast of Darlington, County Durham. 🤔 I would love to hear what folk on here think it may be... #archaeology

I know a Langdale Axe when I see one! The Irish came to northwest England (and probably East Riding / Wales) a LOT in the Neolithic. Particularly around the same time stone circles started showing up in the landscape!

The discovery of two 6,000-year-old houses in Ireland yielded two particularly interesting stone axes. Archaeologists think one was placed as a ritual offering, and the other was made across the Irish Sea in what’s now England … archaeology.org/news/2026/07/16/neolithic-homes-excavated-in-ireland/

A lot frustrates me about the press release put out. Why is the date so precise? All C14 dates are a range - is 2950BCE the median, the start, or the end of the range? And the interpretation of the (very nice) discoidal knife/scraper as a symbol of the sun disc is many levels of bonkers.

We’re deep into Stonehenge silly season. A few comments from me here. www.nationalgeographic.com/history/arti...

Did humans observe the solstice at this site centuries before Stonehenge?

Two wooden posts sunk into a hillside three miles east of Stonehenge may have been the earliest known solar alignment on that landscape, scientists say.

“Thornborough … has stumped historians” If some of our very “best” prehistorians explored any sites outside Wiltshire / Orkney, we’d probably know more about them 😬 (and that counts describing sites only in reference to Stonehenge…) #archaeology #prehistory www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-n...

Fantastic article on “New Antiquarianism” - a world I’ve plunged my toes into this last two years! 💫 I personally think it’s a fantastic thing! blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci...

The popularity of “new antiquarianism” challenges how we understand research impact - LSE Impact

Research in the humanities is not confined to academic institutions. Particularly in history & archaeology where "new antiquarianism" creates public research.

The Vale of Mowbray is the most insane prehistoric site in the British Isles. In my opinion 🤔 An 11-mile chain of at least eight southeast / northwest aligned henges (among the largest in Britain), terminating at Britain's 2nd tallest standing stones... 😩 #archaeology #history #StandingStoneSunday

I'm aware that there was disagreement about the article by Steve Dickinson on a potential new Cumbrian Stone Circle (@adamibbotson.bsky.social). I wonder whether this is the reason that the Autumn Issue of PAST 111 has been deleted online. I am sad because we had an article on malt in this issue. 🤔

The Autumn Issue, Number 111 of PAST, the magazine of @prehistoricsociety.bsky.social, has been taken offline. It was there, we know this because we downloaded a copy. But now it is gone. Can anyone please explain why this has happened. Thanks.

I was playing with 3D analysis techniques, and found something cool. 🌟 Who wants digital crop marks? Well, this method gives you an idea of how crop marks will appear in the landscape for any subtly surviving earthworks, using only GIS and 3DsMax.. 😎 #archaeology #GIS 🏺

The so-called “Snake Stone”. A large fallen boulder below The Wainstones, a rocky outcrop in the North York Moors. 🤔 It has a single large piece of Neolithic rock art on it: a long line terminating in a dot. (zoom in to find it!) #Archaeology #prehistory 🏺

I've read the official write-up on this apparent "recumbent stone circle in the Lake District", and I'm 99.9999% sure it's not real. Smacks of wishful thinking, there's no evidence, and not one mention of the QUARRY it sits on... plus the rock art looks unlikely. Bad. #archaeology #prehistory
