We're busy making plans for our next archaeological investigation

Be seeing you ๐๐

There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words

It is with great sadness that we share news of our dear friend Tim Darvill, professor of archaeology at Bournemouth University who passed away this morning
Our thoughts are with his wife, family, friends and all those he inspired

*Trapped* inside Blackhammer #Neolithic chambered tomb on #Rousay in the Orcadian archipelago
A fine example of a *stalled cairn* with 7 compartments for depositing human and other remains
Excavated in 1936 and covered with a skylit concrete dome @HistEnvScot

Meg will be joining us as part of the crew this week as we dig at Norton Disney!
We canโt wait to see how she gets on, and to make it a bit sweeter, we have decided to offer 15% off the entire shop throughout the dig when you use the code MEG15 ๐๐ผ

What have Amanda and Holly found in their Iron Age storage pit?
Bits of an Iron Age horse?

Want to walk along main road through the Iron Age village of Gurness #Orkney (beautifully looked after by @HistEnvScot @welovehistory) then go on in to the #broch itself and take a look around?
Of course you do ๐

The Early #Neolithic chambered cairn on Wideford Hill #Orkney is today accessed via a sliding metal hatch
It's the best place to relive the famous *Indiana Jones adieu* scene from #RaidersoftheLostArk
