Martin Papworth is a G not as much as a GOAT as you though hey Miles!
In search of the Durotriges:

Jon and Nick were also privileged enough to stand in the footsteps of many other admirers of the underfloor heating system, but don't tell @durotrigesdig.bsky.social #hypocaustgate

Sorry I’ve been off the earthly realm working on a Jane Austen project (I’m still frantically working on it) and celebrating my 21st with fairy rings and witches seats! Though a cool opportunity archaeology wise coming Monday!

We love a blobby blob feature it’s only for those in the know that understand the importance of this 😅
Excavation has begun into the *big blobby blob feature* at the SW corner of the new trench at #Durotriges25
We don't know what it is yet
But it seems to contain a lot of struck flint 🤔

Found this this morning - piltdown man was mentioned in my first ever archaeology lecture and this was my introduction to the amazing Dr Russell. Such a fascinating case, I love it and was the first book I owned that was archaeology based!

This #hillfortswednesday I want to show the magnificent hill fort known as Badbury Rings! This needs more excavations done but it is a fascinating example of Iron Age Dorset and the #durotriges

Lots of archaeology (especially ditches) showing up cut into the natural white chalk geology
We've got lots to do!

Love a good hill fort Dorset wins for this always 😎💪
It's #HillfortsWednesday !
The ramparts of Abbotsbury Castle hillfort enclose a roughly triangular area of 1.8ha atop a limestone ridge overlooking the English Channel / La Manche on the Jurassic Coast here in #Dorset
A little slice of Iron Age gorgeousness

You can tell I’m an archaeologist I keep digging holes for myself. Read politeness as politics now am researching politeness (I am out of my depths). I need to disappear to the #durotriges project 😅

Dorset day is every day and yes Stonehenge is overrated. To be fair think #durotriges is still better ✌️😎
It's #DorsetDay so in celebration we're resharing some news on the "Innovative ancient burial site found to be older than Stonehenge".
Archaeological research conducted on the prehistoric burial site known as Flagstones has revealed that it's the earliest known large circular enclosure in Britain.🧵

Petition to have a durotriges theme park in Dorset cos it’s an often forgotten part in the history of Dorset. Boo!! The Jurassic coast it’s over rated.
Durotriges Park:

Today marks officially the last day I take archaeology. Of course I’m still going to be doing archaeology related things but it is bitter sweet. Archaeology will always be a part of me especially #durotriges #ironage and of course paganism and burial rites.
