It’s always satisfying to work with good stratigraphy as this section of deposits, representing a sequence where the landscape is dipping into a hollow, from Needingworth Quarry highlights. Understanding this profile provides vital information that helps to unpick the story of a site and landscape.
The UHI Archaeology Institute is looking for a post-doctoral researcher to record and analyse the human remains from a Pictish/Norse cemetery in Orkney.
Exquisite data-driven digital storytelling.

The strong winds of Storm Bram coincided with high tides, potentially causing coastal erosion. When it’s safe you can help monitor changes by reporting any damage you see. Use Dynamic Coast's new Coastal Erosion Reporter tool at www.DynamicCoast.com
Thank you!

New landmark research out today: We've just launched Trowel and Error, the most in-depth look in 25 years at how audiences want to engage with archaeology. The findings are clear: people want human, accessible, story-led archaeology.

Thanks Claire! Selected pages of the book can be used to trigger AR media inc models, videos, etc - via the soon to be updated Uist Unearthed app. Important to us that the book 'stands alone' however, so also fully readable without the AR elements.
see reply above - soft cover to also be available at a significantly reduced price, and believe the ebook should be too.
Thanks for sharing Adam, pleased to say there will also be a soft cover version at a much less eyewatering price! 🥳Unsure on release dates for that.
wow! beautiful!
Fresh off the press - latest from the LAST project: "Under Pressure? Living with Climate Change and Environmental Hazards in the Past and Now" (Open access) link.springer.com/book/10.1007... Thanks to all contributors, and to my great co-editors: Marcel Bradtmöller, Sonja B. Grimm and Noa Lavi!!
