My favourite finds so far from this year’s dig of the #Roman bathhouse at #Carlisle Cricket Club. A huge intaglio depicting Mars and a teeny bone die. #findsfriday #romanbritain #archaeology #diggingforbritain
What happened to the tons of stuff left on field after Waterloo? Read my paper here. Includes first publication of account by earliest post-battle visitor known to have written about it (he was from Glasgow). Waterloo Uncovered Scottish Centre - War Studies/Conflict Archaeology #DiggingForBritain

#DiggingForBritain
Just watching the skeletons of children who died from starvation, rickets and tuberculosis being dug up
Terrible poverty and deprivation
All back with the #ToryScumCriminal government
They’ve literally taken us back to Dickensian times so that’s nice
As promised, a bit more on results of Waterloo Uncovered project which featured in #DiggingForBritain . Not all battlefield graves pillaged for fertiliser or sugar. At Mont St Jean, Wellington's main field hospital, we are excavating a unique burial complex. Scottish Centre - War Studies/Conflict Archaeology Dr Stu Eve 1/3
Were all the bodies buried after Waterloo? No! A lot of them were burned. Read about clearing the battlefield dead in my downloadable paper from Journal of Conflict Archaeology

Louise 🇪🇺🌍🏳️🌈💙🐟 Prime Video Thanks, Louise. I've rewatched #DiggingForBritain & Prof Alice Roberts💙 doc on #Stonehenge which was fascinating to revisit. Yes, the space shuttle doc is very interesting: one of my friends is with NASA & another, Dr of AstroPhys helped her dad with NASA work on the Mercury Mission
I’ve enjoyed watching #DiggingforBritain for many years, but this is the first time I’ve joined in #DrawingDiggingforBritain . It has been a lovely, positive start to the new year for me, and it’s been so nice to see everyone’s drawings after each episode. I’m going to miss it.
See us and Prof Alice Roberts💙 at the #HARP22 dig on #DiggingForBritain 8pm BBC2 Sunday 29th!
We helped train Bristol Archaeology SWARP SW Anarchy Research Project students as part of their CIfA accredited Bristol Anthropology & Archaeology BA.
