@LancsMuseums Dear Sam, I would have loved to attend your talk on St. Ursula.
However, I will be away on a dig on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne on that day.
Hopefully, I can catch up with you at a future talk.

A lovely example of a Stephen & Matilda cut half penny recovered yesterday.
This will be recorded on PAS and the Fitzwilliam database in the next few days.

@adamk8 When did you find yours?

[Paul King @Britains_PAST]

We had an interesting day last Sunday surveying a new permission with the initial results looking like a late Iron Age/Roman site.
Here's a part 3D construction of a quern stone recovered from the field.

@HellsBellsy @noktadetectors Jeeps! I hope it's slightly drier for us tomorrow 🫤🤪😁

[Paul King @Britains_PAST]

@adamk8 As long as it stays fairly dry 😃

[Paul King @Britains_PAST]

@adamk8 I'll let you know how we get on 👌

After the slowest start to a digging season for us, we're finally out this Sunday on a newly drilled 23ha field with evidence of a Roman ladder settlement in it....
Hopefully, we'll have something to record!

A denarius of Marcus Aurelius recovered yesterday in Yorkshire.
The field that this and several PAS-recorded copper alloy coins came from is subject to an archaeological dig next year.
