'The dig team at the Ness, one of the most important Neolithic sites in the British Isles, are not revealing what they believe the find to be until more work is done.
But they say it is like nothing else ever found at the site – and may not even be Neolithic.'

Archaeologists are to resume digging at the site after 3D radar technology uncovered a mystery find.

I will be heading to Münster today - to give a talk about my #PhD at a small conference in German 😬
Don't think I have done that in 2 years, I wrote and talked about it in English only so hopefully I will be able to remember the words 😅🙈

How can Neolithic waste help us understand how Europe's first farmers adapted to a more sedentary lifestyle? Our new joint project with the University of York, "RENEW: From Refuse to Resource: Ceramic and Bone Wastescapes in the Early Neolithic of Europe" hopes to shed light on this.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

After the conference is before submission deadline of an article I promised to have done in mid-October 🤭

But I hope I will finish it before @tag2025york.bsky.social so I can just enjoy my time back after an almost 10 year absence!
