Archaeologist with a Fenland tendency. Happiest in the black, buttery depths seeking old land surfaces. You got them big dreams....

I just tree ring dated this large stone pine cookie sampled in 2024 below the Argentière Glacier lateral moraine 🌲💍
It dates the Bronze Age Advance Period of this glacier to 1553+ BCE, which is conform to other calendar dates we have in the Alps at ~1550-1540 BCE (Mer de Glace and Gepatsch) 🧊⏱️

Last year‘s Archaeological Conference of Central Germany was on „A Stone Age History of Clothing“. We had the honour to welcome great colleagues to Halle - roughly one year later, the proceedings are hot off the press!

The Fenland of Cambridgeshire is my photographic “backyard” -a place of wide open landscape broken by drains, droves and lines. The rich black peat , slowly eroding contrasts against constantly changing light.
Using pinhole, polaroid and Holga cameras I try to capture the still beauty of the place.

Early Bronze Age bell-shaped beaker which was found at Stanground in Peterborough - an area rich in Bronze Age activity. Now part of the collections at Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery. 📸 My own. #Prehistory #Archaeology #Peterborough

Memories of plunging my hand deep into the very cold peat to uncover Iron Age wooden planks last seen over 2,000 years ago.
In 1986, I started work on my first archaeology dig at Corlea 1, dated to 148/147 BC. I didn’t know then it would be some of the most spectacular archaeology of my career.
