So very well-deserved - Heather’s talk was fascinating and also featured the Edderton standing stone and associated features (one of my favourite Scottish sites) 🙌 and she referred to skyscape archaeology in her talk - it was fab! An excellent decision by @tag45.bsky.social

This past weekend I had the pleasure to be for the first time at @tag45.bsky.social. A great forum where I had the chance to talk about maps, experience, affect and difference in the Talayotic landscape.

@lornarichardson.bsky.social Getting to the Bottom of Things made me feel introspective. Child of the 70s? Named Kenneth? Wears a tweedy suit and tie, even to @tag45.bsky.social. Drives a RangeRover only because #LandRover was too expensive? Aieee, my career has been shaped by #CarryOn films!

Aaargh, one tweet went missing from that last thread ... which was to thank both our amazing keynote speakers, Ian Hodder and Gill Hey! Two incredibly thought-provoking addresses, we hugely appreciate their agreeing to come along!

@rachelcrellin.bsky.social is a brilliant theorist and @aliceclough.bsky.social is an amazingly talented artist, amazing to see these guys doing incredible work at @tag45.bsky.social over the weekend
@rachelcrellin.bsky.social chose to mark her Outstanding Achievement archaeology award with one of my artworks 🥹 In case you weren’t able to see it on the day here are some pics. It’s a ‘blind embossing’ of the Desborough mirror.

Excellent @tag45.bsky.social keynote from #GillHey telling the story of #commercial #archaeology's chaotic ride though the 90s, tough times in the 2000s and where we are today.
And a good chance to remember #TimDarvill, and how important his contributions were
