Last week we were out with DYW LED at @cofgcollege.bsky.social and New College Motherwell for their STEM Festival events with S2-3s from North Lanarkshire and East Dunbartonshire, exploring how archaeologists reconstruct foodways, identity and Roman - Indigenous relations in Iron Age Scotland.

It was great to attend the celebrations for 10 years of the Glasgow #DYW and hear all about the amazing opportunities delivered by partners across the city. We worked with some great young people through the DYW in Glasgow’s East End and Southside to record what their local archaeology meant to them

Arbory Hill Fort, in South Lanarkshire, is one of the higher forts in Scotland. The inner stone-walled rampart has been inserted into the earlier bi-vallate fort, and the outer ramparts contain at least five entrances. #HillfortsWednesday
