Thanks to all the co-authors and especially @mikegeoarch.bsky.social for the vote of confidence to do some of the microarchaeological analysis. I believe this is my first paper analysing an arid environment site!

This was originally a poultiggery. The base a home for pigs and the top for hens. The pigs keep the hens warm in winter. A bit of vernacular gorgeousness from Cowside in Langstrothdale, Yorkshire Dales.

New discovery: A #Roman wooden water pipe has been found during works on Brussels Street in Leuven.
At a depth of about 4 meters, archaeologists found the wooden water pipe running the entire length of the construction pit, totaling 20 to 30 meters.

Dozens of scholars in my field appear on my YouTube channel, hundreds share my videos or threads with students, and thousands repost them on social media

Archaeologists support ethical, experienced, evidence-driven public content. That's what I provide

These clowns just provide lies
