Got to see a fantastic excavation through a friend in Poland. Iron Age and Roman Iron Age cemetery. Amazing stuff. Love a hand planned burial.
As a historian of Jodrell Bank, I agree! And the reason it is important is that it has been made to mean different things to different people at different times. Who's up for a mega thread on how and why? (I'm off for lunch now, but I'll do it after. I'll need the energy...)

Finally managed to catch Rose Ferraby's show at Peterborough Museum on its last day. Felt like home! Fantastic stuff.

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England. I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Government to lift paywall from large parts of the Land Registry

Has anybody done any work calculating the height of burial mounds from ring ditch dimensions where a mound no longer exists? #archaeology #burialmounds
Rob Grant RIP. Legend. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard as at the reveal at the end of the "Queeg" Red Dwarf episode.

Doing a tidal survey and a part of salmarsh has been purposefully reflooded. My photo is poor but you can see a line of trees dying off in the distance. Reminds me of a very specific archaeological horizon in the fens below the Fen clays where we see marked tree die off.
My Polish partners family are all vets and doctors and pharmacists but there's also a strong line of musicians, entertainers and artists. Her parents house is full of art by family or traded art by friends and neighbours. Anyway, here's one of my favourites they let us have. #winterolympics
