A pleasure to present at #PMAC24 yesterday and attend some really fascinating talks! Also one of the nicer accommodation-to-conference walks I’ve had 🌿

Had a great afternoon speaking to the Clan Donald Society of Scotland with Lucy Ankers UofG Archaeology about our excavations in Glencoe last summer #Glencoe2023 and the Glencoe coin hoard.

Had a nice day checking out farmsteads and foresters cottages on Rannoch Moor today with Lizzie Robertson which came with the extra treat of finding an iron bloomery mound and two nice lithics!

Stone circles pop up in the weirdest of places! Kenny Brophy #urbanprehistory

Glencoe coins making top ten list, as well as UofG Archaeology’s two other fieldschool finds! How cool!

Nothing says “valued member of the research community” like the uni taking down your web profile before you’ve even submitted your thesis.

We (Gareth Beale, Lizzie Robertson, and me) will be chatting about all things immersive, archaeology, and landscape at the @CAA_UK conference next week. Looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing ideas.

Excavations at a site believed to have been used as a ‘summerhouse’ by Alasdair Ruadh ‘Maclain’ MacDonald, chief of the MacDonalds of Glencoe from 1646 to 1692, have revealed a coin hoard underneath the grand fireplace.

We've written to Glasgow City Council to express our deep concerns about proposed staffing & funding cuts at Glasgow Life Museums and Collections, drawing on 50+ years of collaboration with curators. This is an invaluable service for the cultural life & wellbeing of Glaswegians.

And it’s over! We’ve had a fantastic weekend and a brilliant set of speakers. Massive thanks from the SAF team to everyone who presented and all our attendees. Shout out to UoA CPD & Event Services for their help with planning and running the weekend, both here at Aberdeen and online.

Wonderful first day of #SAF2023 yesterday, great to see everything come together - and with very little technical difficulties for once! Looking forward to another day of fascinating talks rethinking the concept of ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ in Scottish archaeology.

Watch out for train cancellations if you are travelling to Aberdeen from the central belt this weekend.

Our Glasgow contingent is looking forward to joining the rest of the committee up in Aberdeen for #SAF2023 this weekend. Big poster coming with us!

Still time to get both online and in-person tickets! 🎟️buff.ly/3t0Dpui
