What an incredible experience at the Glencoe Field School team from Glasgow.
Sensory walks, soundscapes, squelchy bogs, & troweling.
So grateful -also- to have been included in Open Day creative installation. Such a wonderful team to be a part of.

Absolutely shocked (and equally delighted!) to be awarded --not one, but 2 small grants to work on the Elcho Priory excavation archives. Project: "The Social Context of An Excavation: Elcho Priory and its Archaeological Archives." #Archaeology #Heritage #Archives #Nuntastic #WomeninArchaeology

Nothing smells as wonderful as sun-dried bedding - bliss! - and having a Wonder Woman duvet set. My favourite.

Grant brainstorming meeting - things are shaping up! - followed by G & T in the garden & more brainstorming.
Can’t wait to see how the proposal comes together w/ the team at Glasgow - @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social
and Dr Gareth Beale - and working with them on neurodiversity and archaeology.
