We're busy making plans for our next archaeological investigation
Will we find any more Iron Age roundhouses?
Follow #Durotriges25 to see what we discover and check out #Durotriges24 to catch up on last year's dig
Be seeing you 😊👍

There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
#RIP

It is with great sadness that we share news of our dear friend Tim Darvill, professor of archaeology at Bournemouth University who passed away this morning
Our thoughts are with his wife, family, friends and all those he inspired

*Trapped* inside Blackhammer #Neolithic chambered tomb on #Rousay in the Orcadian archipelago
A fine example of a *stalled cairn* with 7 compartments for depositing human and other remains
Excavated in 1936 and covered with a skylit concrete dome @HistEnvScot

A fantastic @thetimeteam investigation into the Durotriges and Iron Age Dorset for your Friday viewing pleasure 👇👇👇
We can't believe that an entire year has passed since this dig! 😯
@NTcorfecastle, we truly appreciate all the incredible efforts you put into preserving this ancient monument!
You can watch our dig "The Secrets of Wytch Farm" on YouTube 👇️

Meg will be joining us as part of the crew this week as we dig at Norton Disney!
We can’t wait to see how she gets on, and to make it a bit sweeter, we have decided to offer 15% off the entire shop throughout the dig when you use the code MEG15 🙌🏼

Want to walk along main road through the Iron Age village of Gurness #Orkney (beautifully looked after by @HistEnvScot @welovehistory) then go on in to the #broch itself and take a look around?
Of course you do 😃

The Early #Neolithic chambered cairn on Wideford Hill #Orkney is today accessed via a sliding metal hatch
It's the best place to relive the famous *Indiana Jones adieu* scene from #RaidersoftheLostArk
