In 2021 I presented at the first #SSACS #Archaeology conference the only student from @uhiarchaeology.bsky.social to go. This year 16 #ThinkUHI students went, 2 presented, we contributed 50% of the posters, WON the prize for best PG dissertation & runner up for best UG one. So damn proud of you all!

As we hurtle towards Christmas, tis once again the season for exceptionally poor pubmanship.
It's not that difficult ...
• Know what you want before you get served
• Order the Guinness first
• Bring your empties back to the bar
A pub is for life, not just for Christmas ... 🎄🎄🎄

In Northern Scotland, the Neolithic Age Never Ended
Megalithic monuments in the otherworldly Orkney Islands remain a fundamental part of the landscape.
Alex Ross + Heart of Neolithic Orkney + Blomuir + Tom Muir + Ness Squad + WSC...all seemingly filtered through the lens of MR James for the benefit of The New Yorker. What's not to love?

A bump for this, in advance of our UWA Deep Time Heritage Seminar tomorrow morning. Sadly, I won't be physically in Perth, but I am looking forward to presenting some of our (very) early work to wider world via Zoom. This project is FUN!

Prehistoric Policies seeks to understand how ideas about the deep time human past, or claims about our evolved human nature, are used to support the development of policies engaging with the climate and environment emergency.
Put simply, some of the claims are a bit iffy...

Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Project Researcher within UCD School of Archaeology.
This position supports the British Academy funded Prehistoric Policies project. PP examines the ways in which environmental policies in Britain and Ireland, and especially those focused on the Just Transition, use figures of the prehistoric past to support their claims, often using popular science accounts as their main sources. PP will analyse environmental discourse and policy and conduct interviews with key figures to better understand why future-facing documents refer back to the human past as well as what kinds of claims are made and whether they are well-founded. PP also includes public-facing events to raise awareness of the way in which prehistory is being used in environmental policy.
Fixed Salary: €46,700 Per Annum
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 3rd December 2025.
Our 12 month environmental policy researcher position is now live! Come and work with @graemewarren.bsky.social at UCD on our @britishacademy.bsky.social funded Prehistoric Policies project with @alicerudge.bsky.social and me. It'll be fun, I promise! my.corehr.com/pls/coreport...
