Certainly encouraging public engagement in historical research, yet this @theguardian.com opinion piece, again, perpetuates an outdated notion: 🏺 #Archaeology is *not* about objects. Just digging up old stuff is of little help in understanding "the past" if contextual information is abandoned.

Comic-style info graphic titled “Archaeology: Why Context Matters” showing the stylized excavation of a bronze object, soil layers with labeled ash and occupation layers, and compares careful excavation to random digging. It explains that objects without context, like that bronze object - reveal little, and uses a torn book page metaphor to show that only context gives meaning.

Another day, another article in the press on metal-detecting that makes zero mention of the PAS or the Treasure Act. Seriously, why are we bothering? #ancientbluesky

We had a brilliant wrap-up to the first week of the fieldschool. Finished the day with some training in geophysics, a tent talk about good archaeological photography, and a final team photo. A great bunch participants, all! Cohort 2 arrives Sunday morning, and the trench is ready for them!

Whinny Hill, Northumberland. A possible BA Four Poster almost totally buried in heather. Four stones present in total. Ranging poles mark purported ‘sockets’ of ‘missing’ stones, seems unlikely unless they were very recently removed. A site in much need of scheduling and care. #standingstoneSunday
