Sad news of Colin Renfrew’s passing - his co- authored seminal #Archaeology book sits on the shelves of past & present undergraduates and each reprint edition often used as shorthand to date the year of student intake.
Sending condolences to his family, friends & colleagues.

Blowing the cobwebs away with a walk on Curbar Edge #PeakDistrict Lots of archaeology old and new. Stone Circles, a memorial to Wellington and abandoned millstones extracted & carved from the sparkling gritstone outcrops. Beautiful views of heathered hills, Derwent Valley, Chatsworth & beyond!
