Ever wondered if you could meet all your favourite wildlife biologists in a video game?

Arachnophobes look away now! Assistant Environmental Officer Emma has found you this weirdy little specimen – a charred spider, recovered in 7 litres of #Roman charcoal. It's from a fire pit, so it looks like this poor little fella was accidentally cooked... 😬👍 #Archaeology

A lot of #Roman tiles have footprints in them, from people or animals walking on the clay before it had been fired; this tile bears the footprint of a chicken, who walked across it over 1500 years ago. From Silchester (Britain), on display in the Reading Museum #RomanArchaeology

A couple of pictures from my visit to @ScottishCrannog back in 2015. Hopefully they can get the support they need to recover and rebuild, so that people can continue to experience Scotland’s prehistory in this this fascinating and engaging way.

Devastating news about the Scottish Crannog Centre, which was destroyed in a fire last night. Reconstructed on the banks of Loch Tay, it offered such a unique and captivating insight into Iron Age life.

Here are 66 hillforts from central Southern England, all at the same scale and sorted by area (area including ramparts and ditches!). Would make a good tea towel design. Data from @EnvAgencyGeomat . An early entry for #hillfortswednesday . #Archaeology

#HillfortsWednesday
I am always fascinated by how brutal WWI and its impact on #landscape. Here is prehistoric #hillfort Podgrac in W Slovenia, on one of the main front lines of Soška front.

@Splodz Definitely Hardknott!
Hardknott Roman Fort is 100% worth stopping for too on the way down from the pass - such an incredible and exposed setting.

Interesting piece about the history of the landslips at the Rest and Be Thankful on the A83 in #Scotland

@MuseumMeg @Curator_Rebecca This is brilliant. Possibly the highlight of my day so far...! Actually giggled out loud at the end 🙊😂

[Sam Wilson @ConflictArchaeo]

Culloden was fought OTD in 1746. Some fantastic archaeology been done there over the years by people like @ProfTonyPollard @DrIainBanks @thecoastguy @GUARD_Archaeol @NTS_archaeology resulting in some great finds - particularly like the trigger guard hit by a musket ball.

Although I still haven’t knitted anything with the wool I bought from the wool mill on the island. Definitely a to-do list project for 2020.

Loved visiting Orkney this summer. Spent a day on North Ronaldsay and saw these wonderful seaweed-eating sheep for myself
