Making great progress recording key features of WW2 landing crafts (LCAs) at Itchenor for @sotonarch fieldwork.
Amazing to see the surviving wooden hull preserved by the intertidal mud.

Anthedon is one of #Gaza's most important sites, currently on #UNESCO tentative list. Its multiperiod features are found on land, eroding on the coast & underwater. Recent imagery shows a large segment of Anthedon cleared after airstrikes in October 2023 (as well as 2014 & 2021).
