A devastating loss for Ely Museum, a regionally significant Bronze Age find secured for the museum via the Treasure Act, only to be lost through theft. We hope the CCTV images released will help bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Happy Liberation Day to everyone in the Channel Islands and a Bouanne Libéthâtion to Jersey in particular! Here's a short clip from my whopping 'Complete History Of Jersey (in just under 10 minutes)' taking in those important 5 years in our history. #Liberation79

Some news - I’m delighted and honoured to be taking on the role of President for the Royal Archaeological Institute! Looking forward to getting stuck in and seeing some of our members at the Spring meeting in Newark this weekend.

You can attend our international conference on multi-period quarrying, stone-working and rock-cut sites by Zoom! Links on the website mappalab.eu/rocky-landscap… for 23-25 May sessions. Something for AIA Soc Post-Med Archaeology Changing Landscapes Research Network and Prehistoric Society in the mix!

Following useful discussions with members over the last few weeks, CIfA is sharing the plan and timetable for the salary benchmarking work which will take place over the next few months. For further information, and a link to the plan, visit: archaeologists.net/news/salary-be…

This is so interesting and relevant to #archaeology - professional business models don’t support early/mid career development. Built environment sectors should collaborate more.

Unionism isn’t easy in sectors with many employers but still worth it - better T&Cs.

This wonderful colour footage of the arrival of the advance party of Liberation Force 135 and celebrations by Islanders on 9 May 1945 was shot by Dr ‘Morty’ Evans using a Cine-Kodak Model BB 16mm camera.

Happy Liberation Day! Bouanne Libéthâtion!

I had the real pleasure of going walking with Jim on Monday to record a walk around his patch. We will be making the walk into an online resource as part of ArchaeologyUK’s new Out and About Archaeology event over the weekend of 18th and 19th May. His book Footmarks is brilliant

Wishing our friends & colleagues in the Channel Islands a happy day celebrating the anniversary of their liberation after years of Nazi occupation. While D-Day took place in June 1944 liberating Normandy, only 13 miles away, the islands had to wait another 11 months for freedom.

Come and work with us on the White Sands palaeoenvironments!

This is the point I’ve made to a few colleagues as well. As someone who uses ethnographic analogy I try to use it to expand understanding of potential behaviours and use of technology but it cannot and does not explain the past. That is what archaeology and palaeoanth are for!

Evidence of an Irish presence in the wider Anglo-Welsh borderland in the early medieval period isn't as unlikely as it might at first appear. What a find! theguardian.com/science/articl…

Such a horrific loss !😔

Desperately sad to hear the passing of Steve Albini.
As a performer and then producer he left his mark on some of my most favourite music.

Join me this Sunday on Channel 5 as I look the incredible technology that's helping us to read the LOST SCROLLS OF POMPEII!

We are devastated to hear of the loss of loved heritage in a theft at Ely Museum. We encourage anyone who can to reach out and show support for Ely Museum and their local community.

If you have any information regarding the theft please contact Cambridgeshire Police.

Please could I tap into Tweep's collective memory......

Does anyone remember which paper says animal collagen d13C below -22.5 per mil indicates canopy effect/woodland.

I know i have read this specific figure somewhere but can't find the paper.

Thanks for your help!
