Lots of offshore Quaternary talks today, and an inspiring keynote from Professor Becky Briant on the benefits that Quaternary scientists can deliver during ground engineering design: if any of this floats your boat (sic), we're hiring at Wessex Archaeology share.google/MbXadGnfgrLB... #QRA2026ADM

Enjoyed every word of Dr @abistone.bsky.social ‘s Wiley Lecture today at Day 1 of #QRA2026ADM in Brighton. On a cold winter’s day she took us to the warmth of the Namib to search for ancient hominin landscapes.

Every year, about this time, somewhere deep in the Perigord, it happens. Magdalenian spirit-reindeer awake from their deep, cavern-dark slumber, and take flight.
