Fantastic to see the third review of the Research Framework for the Archaeology Wales completed yesterday.
Really important documents, ensuring that we get the best out of Welsh Archaeology.
I was lucky enough to pull together the minor refresh of the Neo and EBA theme.
Congrats all!

Amazing to see a 16/17th century (replica) spanish galleon sail into Fishguard this weekend.
What an amazing insight into what long distance trade would have looked like at the time!
Thanks for coming Galleon Andalucia!

Following the end of week one and we've had a fantastic time working with Operation Nightingale at Buckspool Promontory Fort! Things are looking really exciting with lots of Roman pottery, a piece of jet bracelet, and a broach! We think we have two stone built round houses appearing in the trench!

Fantastic to get the opportunity to visit the @henebtwa.bsky.social dig for Operation Nightingale at Buckspool Promontory Fort.
Lots of finds - particularly amazing to see preserved animal bone on a West Wales site - Hens teeth in this part of the world. Can't wait to see the results.

Fantastic couple of days at the #IronAgeDialogues conference.
Great to meet with colleagues from Wales and beyond and hear about all the amazing things going on at the moment!

🗣As well as the CIfA Conference, Heneb has also been at the #IronAgeDialogues Conference in Cardiff this week. It's been a great opportunity to be a part of the first major Iron Age conference in many years in Wales! We've had a fantastic time with industry colleagues discussing all things Iron Age

Photo-ception. I'm sure this pose was in the risk assessment.
📸 Visited one of our excavations, spotted a Heneb archaeologist in the wild, or have a fantastic picture of an archaeological site?
Then why not share you archaeo-pics with us for a chance to feature on our e-newsletter!

It's #MedievalMonday!
This week the unusual hybrid of Medieval fortification and Georgian splendour: Picton Castle in Pembrokeshire.
Built by a Flemish Knight it was later the home of Sir John Wogan, an important figure in the court of Edward I.
Stonking garden as well!

This fort has been subject to exstensive excavations by @henebtwa.bsky.social
We found the most amazing monumental romano-british building just inside the entrance. Certainly not domestic! Hope you had the chance to visit!

Lovely day at the National Botanic Gardens. Great to see the newly restored regency lakes bedding in after our community excavations a few years ago.
It was a very special place to work. Its also a cracking greenhouse!

This might just be my favourite polished stone axe.
The 'Hayscastle Axe' at Tenby Museum is a highly polished flint axe.
As we don't have flint of any quality around here, this is a certain import, clearly made for beauty as much as function.
