As always, a great morning in @experimentarchaeol.bsky.social last week. Marie and I took a fieldtrip to visit Aidan and Brendan and we all happily chatted about early medieval houses, crannogs and chronologies for hours!

A poster for Dr Rebecca Boyd's publication "Exploring Ireland's Viking-Age Towns: Houses and Homes", part of Routledge's series "Archaeologies of the Viking World". The poster shows an illustration of a Viking-age thatched longhouse, situated within a fenced enclosure next to a bay. There is a long boat in the bay. Two figures stand out front of the longhouse. A graphic listing the details of the EGM: the EGM will be held at the Helen Roe Theatre at 63 Merrion Square in Dublin, at 11am on Saturday 23 November.

I'll be in Dublin next weekend to speak to @IAIarchaeo members. Much of my research is based on developer-led archaeological discoveries and I'm really looking forward to speaking about how we can interpret the data after it comes out of the ground.
