Let's hope the weather God's are kind and the #archaeology is on form 🤩🏺

That's a wrap on the 2025 #FestivalOfArchaeology🏺. Extra special to celebrate it in my home town of #Bradford with family and friends.
Huge thank you to Photoworks & our fantastic 'My Heritage' artists who joined us for the weekend to celebrate their work exploring #archaeology and #photography ⛏️📸

It's #AskAnArchaeologist Day part of the @archaeologyuk.bsky.social #FestivalOfArchaeology.
My question is: what's the best/worst/weirdest thing you have come home with after a dig? 🤔
I'll start..... a volunteer bought me a cutting of a framberry plant. It's 7, survived a house move and a flood!

We finished our walk with a wander through the woods & just as we thought we were finished we found an abandoned 18thC water-powered corn mill #industrialarchaeology
We loved getting #OutAndAboutArchaeology.

We've found the castle and it's beautiful here in Hawarden🤩 Well worth the walk to find it peeping through the trees for #OutandAboutArchaeology with @archaeologyuk.bsky.social
Current castle dates to the 13thC but has Norman origins 🏺🧵4/
