Not had much time to get stuck in to the landscape archaeology books I amassed over the summer, but finally got around to this little beauty! Reading these books, I get such a sense of finding my people! 😊

Landscape archaeology has always been my archaeological focus. So when I started exploring how I can carve out some sort of career in archaeology, this course by @mercianarch.bsky.social was the first thing I booked on! 5 of the best days! I can't recommend it enough!

Had a great morning in the Staffordshire landscape, being given a tour by Ian of @enricharch.bsky.social of the long-term Tudor farming project he's been involved with. I was so engrossed in hearing about the various lumps & bumps, I only took one photo!!

I met an old soul Utah Juniper last week while completing fieldwork. It’s a living pillar that has likely endured (SWWYO) for more than a millennia (TBD). It has witnessed languages rise and fall, migrations beneath cold stars, and the hush of lives past.

Raking shadows thrown by low sun emphasise the terraced banks of an extensive IronAge/#RomanoBritish field system on the steep N-facing slopes of Burderop Down, Wilts. ... AND the ditches of a #medieval sheepfold that cut across them.

What a great first day of our 2025 Spring Meeting in mid-Cornwall!
Thanks @olafbayer.bsky.social for showing us Castilly henge, Hensbarrow Beacon, St Stephen’s Beacon and the jaw-dropping industrial china clay landscape surrounding them.
#LandscapeArchaeology
Colour photograph of LSG members exploring part of Castilly henge, Cornwall. Pale straw-coloured grass-covered plateau, with a deep curving dry ditch running through the foreground, low earthen banks beyond and trees on the horizon. The small figures of several brightly-clothed people are standing in the middle. Colour photograph of Dr Olaf Bayer at Hensbarrow beacon, Cornwall: a white man in black clothing is pointing behind him towards a massive earthen mound silhouetted against a blue sky with white clouds. Colour photograph of LSG members exploring the eastern side of the large enclosure encircling St Stephen’s Beacon, Cornwall. Pale unimproved pasture with a group of people in brightly-coloured clothes walking away. Beyond are green fields and small white houses, above which towers the duller green flat-topped industrial spoil heaps from china clay extraction, creating a ‘new’ and much higher horizon. Colour photograph showing a hand in a red glove and blue coat sleeve holding a glossy black-and-white print out. The print is a lidar model of the ovoid earthwork enclosure encircling the domed hilltop at St Stephen’s Beacon, Cornwall.
