Before Twitter explodes I’d like to share some news.
I am starting a PhD @QMGeography in collab with @MOLArchaeology funded by #AHRC via @CDPConnect
I am exploring the relationship between people, history, landscape & environment thru the lens of #mudlarking on the Thames! 🌊

Just some eel facts for your afternoon.
Fascinating new blog post – at Hackney, London
Earlier this year, the Fulham FROGs (Foreshore Recording and Observation Group) got together to explore the @Fulham_Palace. In this FROG Blog, Rachel Hosier shares her memories of the visit. It was a fun and informative outing, highly recommended!

We had a really useful morning on the foreshore in the City today. We're using GPS to plot some of the features with some of our volunteers. It's the first step in a big project to make all our plans and drawings available digitally!

Come join us for a magical evening by the River. – at City of London, London

This was a great event. Looking forward to doing more like it. – at Poplar, London
@DrSadieWatson, @WRathouse + I had loads of fun making #Beaker pottery and #BronzeAge roundhouses with #BeamPark's new residents. It was about connecting with the past, meeting neighbours, + making new friendships for the future.

Holme II was dated to be constructed in the same year as Seahenge, lending to the theory that the two timber circles were built as a pair.
One theory is burial: Seahenge was used for excarnation and, once the bones were clean, the remains were buried in Holme II

I wasn't having a particularly good-hair day but I'm grateful to be able to talk about how archaeology can help mental health. – at Hackney, London
