Riverside homes: The illustration shows what the Must Farm [UK] settlement might have looked like during its brief habitation in the ninth century B.C., before its destruction by fire. Because of partial demolition of the site by quarrying in the 1960s, it is not known how many dwellings the palisade originally contained. Construction required a huge amount of timber, mainly oak and ash. Scholars believe that the Must Farm community was one of many and that these raised structures were an established local custom. Archaeologists believe more such sites may lie hidden under the fenland clay. Illustration by Santi Pérez.

First, our article on reconstructing prehistoric land cover in the Humberhead Levels is now out in Vegetation History and #archaeobotany.

We applied the Multiple Scenario Approach to […]

"Old men such as Libanius didn’t quite know how to respond effectively. They had spent their entire lives learning how to compete and thrive in a geographically and religiously diverse imperial system that rewarded loyalty and buffered the worst effects of radical changes in imperial policy […]

Colorful text at the top reads, 'Born to say,' followed by large, bold, orange and yellow text in all caps, 'FUCK OFF.' Below in smaller, black text, it says, 'Forced to say,' with pink text at the bottom reading, 'I'll update the spreadsheet.' The image includes a small cartoonish paperclip with headphones, resembling the Microsoft Clippy character.

This is a four-panel comic meme illustrating a relatable conversation between a person and their brain at night. Panel 1: The brain asks, "Are you sleeping?" Panel 2: The person, looking annoyed while lying in bed, replies, "Yes, now shut up...." Panel 3: The brain, with a surprised expression, continues, "Tolkien didn't start LotR until he was 45, you're doing just fine...." Panel 4: The person appears peacefully sleeping after the reassurance, no longer bothered by the brain's interruption.

The #aurora is here as far south as #plymouth!!!! 😭😭😭 I'm so happy, more to come and the clouds are breaking. #auroraborealis #weather #spaceweather #solarstorm
A screenshot of spaceweather.com showing high solar wind readings and a kp of 8/10 indicating a strong solar storm. A pink misty aurora peaking over rooftops bathed in streetlights. It's appearance is breaking through 50% cloud cover. Same as previous but another angle. The aurora is less intense but very present.
