Looking forward to talking about public archaeology…title TBC when I can get my thoughts together!
We're really looking forward to welcoming @rakshadigs.bsky.social to Sussex to deliver the 2026 Long Man Lecture.
We don't have enough opportunities to meet together to listen to, and celebrate, a single voice from the heritage world, but this is one.
Pls share and join us this March!

Flag Fen is drying out. Large sections will soon disappear forever. It's pretty much now or never if we want to understand Britain's largest and most impressive prehistoric wooden structure.
