@eddiecstewart.bsky.social
CVARF Engagement Officer at Archaeology Scotland, affiliated researcher @UofG interested in early modern uplands, shieling practice, hunting and estates, and 17th c. Glencoe. I also dabble in contemporary archaeology - edgelands and archaeologies of waste.
@urbanprehistorian.bsky.social I see the ‘Glasglow’ at the botanics this year features some throwbacks to @glasgowgardenfestival.org! There’s also a set of doors in the GGF colours and an arch of flowers, a hot air balloon, and a mini uppy-down-ride?

There are many ways to make a career in heritage and #NoWrongPath to get into the field!
I started out in Archaeology as a volunteer in high school with @nts-archaeology.bsky.social - we’re also supported by a huge team who’ve all had their own journeys through archaeology!
August 4, 2025 at 12:09 PM
And members of our team have worked in Australia, Cyprus, Italy, France, England and Cyprus!
August 4, 2025 at 12:09 PM
Some of our team have worked in commercial archaeology, or freelance as illustrators, researchers or creators @lizzierobertson.bsky.social @nts-archaeology.bsky.social

Members of our directors team work in heritage management @nts-archaeology.bsky.social, public engagement (myself @archscot.bsky.social) bringing different perspectives, priorities and skills to the project team.

While 5 of our 6 directors have doctorates, some recent some long ago, many of us have worked in a variety of contexts or come from sectors outside academia.

The Glencoe Archaeology Project is supporting the #NoWrongPath campaign #SQA #DYWScot!
While our directors team all hold degrees, we’ve come to work together from different perspectives and parts of the sector, and have had an array of routes to our current posts!

Nick is working on our phytolith samples and bulk samples from Glencoe offering us exciting insights into the environment, fuel and subsistence strategies of the communities we study!

Nick got the opportunity to engage with the environment of this part of Lochaber, traipsing over hills in search of shielings and falling (repeatedly) into the boggy pools of Rannoch Moor @nts-archaeology.bsky.social @uofgartshums.bsky.social

Had a great few days showing Nick Cullen @stanfordpress.bsky.social around Glencoe and along the River Ba on Rannoch Moor - exploring shielings, summerhouses and settlements. Nick is our #Glencoe Archaeology Project archaeo-botanist so contextualising him in the landscape has been great!

Yesterday we hosted our Glencoe Archaeology Festival with @nts-archaeology.bsky.social at the Glencoe visitor centre.

Visitors were treated to finds handling sessions run by our students, site tours by Derek, experimental archaeology, an archaeology-art installation, and storytelling!

It’s been a lovely day on site today! As part of our #Glencoe2025 we were joined by 25+ volunteers on site for a dig for a day event!
Across the site our trenches are revealing exciting finds and features!

Great to see this coverage of our Glencoe excavations and the stories we are uncovering about the lives of the MacDonald of Glencoe chiefs and their households.
