A hugely popular and internationally recognised symbol of Britishness, associated with time travel & outlandish speculative fictions. And the TARDIS.

The view from my office window never fails to impress. Watching the wintry clouds scud across the sky above the Lakeland hills is glorious, but the added bonus of having the bronze age burial mound of Torrisholme Barrow in my eyeline makes it all so much more impressive. #prehistory

Some full-on fangirling behaviour from me last week when I got to see Peter Buck play in the teeny weeny Ferret club in Preston. It was a fantastic (if sweaty 🥵) experience. We just need @millsish.bsky.social to pop over to the UK for a mini-tour (minotaur?) and all would be good with the world.

Finally made it to Balfarg Henge last month. It was worth the wait. Scotland does seem to "do" archaeology well, doesn't it? #urbanprehistory

Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole".
(It should read "She's a strange lass, is our Sal"...)

Thoroughly enjoyed nodding off last night whilst listening to @theduncanmackay.bsky.social regaling me with his take on Boudica. Let's see what tonight brings.

Not exactly #urbanprehistory - maybe we need to make space for an #industrialagriculturalprehistory hashtag?

Wee Jessie Bear and I are doing some hardcore holiday planning in the 🌞 We'll be based in Angus but also visiting Fife. Very excited that I'll finally get to witness the glory of Balfarg. Any other must-do sites I should see @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social ?

The last time I saw Marty Wilson-Piper he was on stage with @julianneregan.bsky.social & All About Eve. I always knew he was a good egg and here he proves that he also has exquisite taste in music 💙 @istevejansen.bsky.social #exitnorth #thomasfeiner #sweetbillypilgrim

Feb 2017. A blustery day spent on Bute to visit Ettrick stone circle, before heading back to Glasgow to witness the glory of the Archdrude himself. #StandingStoneSunday

"He's getting an entrepreneurial kick out of it," the thick af racist woman says, as a 7yo climbs into a dumpster full of rotting shit to scavenge for plastic for a few pennies.

There's delicious irony in those lithic houses of the dead being part of why the Long Neolithic lives still. For these tombs are alive in our imaginations, alive in our papered tellings of history. A breathing presence in our stories of place. – Dr. K Brophy #StandingStoneSunday
