A Pictish spearbutt which may have been used in close combat, a unique 'Celtic' bangle, and a rare shipwreck are just some of Scotland's most amazing archaeological discoveries from 2024 🤩
Dig into our list of finds which range from 4100 BC to the 1980s: digitscotland.com/five-of-sc…

We’re excited to share that our marine team, and historic timber specialists @Dendrochronicle, have received funding from @histenvscot that will enable us to continue investigating the #SandayShipwreck found on the shores of #Orkney. ⚓️🧐

We’re thrilled to be working on this project with @wessexarch and the Sanday community. Very grateful to @HistEnvScot for the funding. Having just assessed the dendro samples, the prospects are looking good for dating and provenancing the timbers. Watch this space! 🌳💍🏴💚

Such kind comments, thank you @DGWoodlands. I’m sharing so people can find the link to the recording of the talk and the accompanying resources sheet - aimed at any budding Woodland History Detectives out there 🌳💚
The phrase ‘off the chart’ is thrown around a lot nowadays - but feedback about the ‘Woodland History Detectives’ event on Tuesday night starring the brilliant @Dendrochronicle has been OFF THE CHART.
A recording of the talk now available here: youtu.be/FV6e2qv9YTw
In a word … it’s Treemendous
🌳💍🏴💚
Have you checked out the brand new Dendrochronology framework yet?🌳👀
It's the perfect way to celebrate #NationalTreeWeek, with chapters exploring Dendroecology, Dendroclimatology, stable isotopes and so much more!

Great that the HES Cultural Resources Team arranged for the work to recover and date the sole surviving timber at Castle of Old Wick. It was exciting to be involved.
"We know so much more...all gleaned from just a piece of wood!" 🌲
Until recently, there was very little dating evidence for Castle of Old Wick in Caithness, but work by @Dendrochronicle has shed new light on the building's history: digitscotland.com/what-are-s…

The world feels a whole lot more terrifying this morning - especially for any hope of climate action. Right now I feel sick. But I also know we have choices on how to respond - and will try even harder to light candles rather than curse the darkness 🕯️
