Thanks to our pals at @blackford_hill for including one of Rob's Soundmarks tracks 'Village Green' on this fantastic new compilation: it's a dive through some wonderful worlds of sound!
Tracks from @soundmarks_ Sing the Gloaming alongside plenty of gems on this new @blackford_hill comp in aid of @TrussellTrust blackfordhill.bandcamp.com/a…
Great article in @guardian this weekend on sound walks, including coverage of @walk_sound Our art trail with sound and visual art is still available free online, so even while the museum is shut, you can enjoy an autumnal walk around Roman Aldborough! soundmarks.co.uk

It's a year since our exhibition at The Shed in Aldborough! Happy memories of sharing sound and image of the hidden archaeological stories of place. Our exhibition tour this year was cancelled, but hopefully we'll be taking the sub-surface of Aldborough on the road in 2021!

READ ALL ABOUT IT! @roseferraby & @robsaintjohn have written photographic experiments for @soundmarks_ for @The_Learned_Pig - how photographic processes echo and reflect archaeological practice. thelearnedpig.org/soundmarks…

Working on @soundmarks_ has given @robsaintjohn and I much to think about. We wrote this wee piece for the @The_Learned_Pig about using photography to think through the sub-surface Thanks to editors @tomjeffreys & Melanie Viets!

Rose on @BBCRadio4 this afternoon chatting about sub-surface Aldborough.
I recently took @HelenMark01 for a (phone) walk around Roman Aldborough for @BBCR4OC. We heard bells, birds, cow coughs, river slops & chatted about hidden histories. Tune in Thursday at 3 for the delights of archaeology in lockdown! @ginger_journo bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000kq0…

We're delighted to see one of our own pages as part of the 'page-a-day' from @thenaturelib! The Nature Library is such a fantastic and generous endeavour, taking wonderful wordy worlds out across Scotland. We're very glad to be part of the flock. Do check it out!
Soundmarks is a collaboration between Rose Ferraby & Rob St John, weaving their skills in archaeology, visual art, writing, sound, film & photography to explore the intermingling human & natural layers that underpin the landscape at Aldborough Roman Town. thenaturelibrary.com/page-a-…

The pinetum trees are the green jewel in Aldborough's crown. Cones and needles whisper into gaps in Roman stones. (image: rose ferraby)

A discovery of books for #WorldBookDay You can still get your hands on a copy of Soundmarks on the website soundmarks.co.uk/book/

It's #WorldBookDay and here at Aldborough we're celebrating narratives of the site woven through text and image, from the 19th century to today! Ecroyd-Smiths 'Reliquiae' and @soundmarks_ both show the delight of sub-surface discovery. New volume on the site due soon...!
