Old St Paul's - as built largely from c.1087 with addition of the eastern 'New Work' of 1259-1314 - back in the centre of London!

Voices from the Past: This is Philip Rahtz' lighthearted review on one of the best British Excavation 'manuals' of the 1970s, written by the excavator of Wroxeter and Esewhere in Shropshire. Enjoy the 'wisdom of the ages' . LOL. #archaeology .

Not turning the down the gift of a sunny spring afternoon to go for a rural ramble. It was while doing so, that I was suddenly struck by one of those thoughts you sometimes get.
You KNOW the type I'm talking about...

Brilliant to get back to a childhood Sunday eve tradition... Time Team!

Love the new episode - great archaeology, community involvement, and throwing the kitchen sink of techniques

(Cheeky TimeTeam pints Lawrence Shaw and Derek Pitman, hope you got to keep the glasses)

Wonder what the Romano-Brits would make of their London-to-Silchester road being used for an illegal rave... Roman Roads Research Association

Iron Age or Romano-British iron anvil from Sutton Walls hillfort. It is remarkable because it was forged from a single bloom of iron which has such a high carbon content it is comparable to steel. Excavated by Kathleen Kenyon from Sutton Walls, Herefordshire in 1948-1951.

🧵 As a teenager there were two things that helped shaped my career, the first was an AS in Archaeology at college, something that is no longer available. The second was Time Team. The accessible and engaging nature of the show has had huge influence on me.

Up on Ivinghoe Beacon today, a favourite place where I would walk with Sean Lock- love you Sean , miss you old friend

Appalling, blithering nonsense.

Excited River Thame CT in flood so early this autumn/winter 🤞 another cracking winter birding the River. Early morning walk (more like wade) around Ickford - Wigeon, Teal, Gadwall, Lapwing, Snipe all back. Also looks like my wellies sprung a leak over the summer 🤣😲🤫Wetland Bird Survey

Count me excited. Who doesn't love a 'biscuit-themed light experience'...? Visit Reading

Pollard willows along a river bank are such a vivid reminder of centuries of unremembered famers’ labour in supporting the present with hope for a sustainable future. Here’s the story they tell… THREAD

A new, improved Scottish LiDAR layer is on our website! LiDAR uses lasers to pick up different altitudes, trees, etc. The results are represented on our website with colours (and *new* hillshading), making features such as hillforts look like this 😍

This often overlooked marble head from Fishbourne Fishbourne Roman Palace West Sussex Sussex Archaeological Society is quite simply one of the most important finds from #Roman Britain 🤩
