I’m an archaeologist who has infiltrated a two-day course by the British Society of Soil Science in beautiful Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 So far they seem to accept me.

Apparently the only archaeologist to have ever signed up during its 13-yr run!

Last Friday I had the pleasure to give a talk at the @ulbruxelles.bsky.social on radiocarbon dating in archaeology.

Working with two amazing Film & TV 3rd-year undergrad students from @bristoluni.bsky.social to create social media content for our department, @bristolantharch.bsky.social.

Today they filmed staff members and flint knapping outside. Great content coming soon! 🎥 📺
