This summer’s heatwave meant cropmarks formed faster and were more obvious

These cropmarks reveal layouts of buried ditches or walls that once defined settlements, field boundaries or funerary monuments dating back to prehistoric times.

Our latest Post-Ex Diary discusses understanding the context of Must Farm's material. Analysis of the site's environment is essential background to our current work refitting and exploring different artefact types. https://t.co/QYbDG7J0Ss

Offa, King of the #Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, died #onthisday in AD 796. His imitation of a gold dinar of the caliph al-Mansur (714-775), ruler of the Islamic Abbasid dynasty, is one of the most remarkable early medieval English coins https://t.co/m4M8BvuNdN MT@BritishMuseum

By the mid-7thC #AngloSaxon communities in the E Amgluan fenland were collectively constructing canals called lodes [from OE gelād, to lead, just as water is still 'led' today] to manage water-levels in the rich wetland pastures on which their huge herds of cattle grazed
