Also, it's #Hillfortswednesday! Great to compare the brochs of Scotland by Dr. @kirstylilley with @UniofOxford's Atlas of Hillforts. Shocking lack of brochs in the Aberdeenshire area *STARES IN TEUCHTER*

New paper co-authored with @acerbialberto and @MKrz17 in @SciReports! What makes archaeological content spread on social media? Positive sentiment and expertise can win! @HCAatEdinburgh @EdinArch @UoE_EFI 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Negativity and domain-general influencers are not always winning online! In a new paper with @chiara_bonacchi and @MKrz17 we analyse social media activity in the archeological community, where positivity and expertise drive engagement. rdcu.be/d6kUy
