FANNYING!!!!! And also: give me an edit button @bsky.app, for the love of all that's good in this world
A long-running saga starring me and my laptop, in eleventy-million installments
Make it into a sodding PDF will you, and stop fanning about telling me you need to update your tags or some such nonsense
And there was me thinking Sunday morning was all about #TheArchers omnibus
That mug is glorious - and congratulations Rowena!
Totally agree: my mum swears by toe-up, and it's beyond my tiny mind
I like their protocol for controlling for modern fur and feathers: if I did this sort of work, my control samples would be stuffed with Labrador hair
Oh god, yes, the mid-pair ennui is totally a thing! But usually, once I've got the cuff back on, I'm game. Now, toe-up or cuff-down: which do you prefer?
Oooh, no, I LOVE a DPN. And a cable needle. Complicated socks are my thing
Absolutely: and blanket 'rewilding' is not an answer - some iterations can smack of an imagined, pristine and ultimately mythical past.

@trisnorton.bsky.social : you'll be interested in this. Discussion of a pollen study showing the relationship between mixed farming and plant biodiversity, impacted negatively by population decline during the Black Death. All those weeds around the margins lost theconversation.com/the-black-de...
There's no such thing as 'The Natural'

Like this guy?!
Gosh it has been over ten years since we published The British Palaeolithic post-ALSF: Core Principles for Future Enhancement, Expansion and Engagement. It rather got buried and forgotten about. 🏺🦣

If anyone is after a Mother's Day present, consider supporting Freya in her Jamboree fundraising: she's got some beautiful candles in her Etsy shop ATM www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Flic...
Where this time?!
Looks like Benoit Clarys' style?
Extented deadline to March 20th! ✨✨

Ha, dime bar cake!
Oh now I'm jealous, you git
It can't be: I refuse to believe it, having seen it when it first came out
Jersey's archaeological heritage is a vital part of the Island's identity, collective memory and a valuable resource for historical and scientific research. Currently, Jersey lacks a clear and comprehensive legal framework in this area. The existing approach relies heavily on Customary Law and voluntary reporting, which does not provide sufficient clarity or protection. Recent high- profile discoveries, such as the Le Câtillon II hoard, have highlighted the need for a statutory framework to manage significant finds transparently and consistently. The draft Law seeks to address this gap by introducing clear legal obligations and processes for reporting, assessing, and preserving archaeological objects. If adopted, it will ensure compliance with international commitments under the Valletta Convention and other heritage-related treaties, while fostering responsible searching and discovery and ensuring public access to significant finds. By creating a statutory Historic Environment Record, licensing intrusive excavations, and enabling regulations for wider heritage protection, the draft Law would strengthen Jersey's ability to safeguard its heritage for future generations.

Brilliant news from Jersey as the Government passes their transformative heritage protection bill. A legal framework to protect Jersey's past, including the licensing of all intrusive fieldwork. Bravo!🏺

Absolute GENIUS
They really lack resources though, more than universities?
It's database upkeep that's the killer, for sure. Even with funding to do the initial (enormous!) data review and standardisation, who maintains it, pro bono? Who sets and maintains input standards for future discoveries? In UK, TERPS and PaMELa transformed research, but they're static resources
Oh, I do love these: haven't read them for a while
Yes, this!!!!
