You never know what’s round the corner. This re-used saddle quern hints of a nearby prehistoric site - and sure enough - a few paces further, an Iron Age settlement is revealed in the eroding section. We look forward to returning to Yell in June for more!

Shetland horizontal mills - used for a 1000 years - now mostly ruinous. You will find them alone or in groups, like these examples in North Yell. An intact working example survives at the Crofthouse Museum in Dunrossness which you can visit! #hessupported #coastarch #scotarchstrat

Learning about @decadeheritage.bsky.social at the Society for Historical Archaeology conference in New Orleans today, check out their great work. #sha2025

I’m off work this week, my semester wrapped up, and it’s interesting to see the things that I had to plug in for this week were all service related responsibilities. #NoteToSelf

🏺Made the local paper 😁
Excited about this research!

Conundrum: I want to finish #amwriting #preservation, but my partner just started the Christmas classic Die Hard…

Making some progress on end of semester assignments- my 8 page assignment now has six pages of text and five pages of references 😂 it’s no fun for others when an academic goes back to school. #amwriting #archaeology #preservation

Heard at yoga today, “share your second thought.” That’s probably a good rule of thumb in life. Yoga🧘🏽‍♀️

So yesterday’s #amwriting sesh was interrupted when I realized I had an end of the semester presentation project due by midnight. After said presentation today I’ll get back to writing up supplementary blurbs for my survey class. #Preservation nerds please light a candle for me!

Big #amwriting week ahead as I’m locking down on my #preservation end of semester projects. Feels a bit like an avalanche today…send out the ski patrol!

Off for two weeks! (except that one program 12/4). Current view of my brain cells 🧠🍾
