Great turn out from Spaldington locals and society members this evening to hear about Howdenshire Archaeological Society’s plans for the forthcoming months…

@MyWakefield We looked at and researched the history of the Crimea Tavern last Friday, which sits adjacent to our meeting place @queensmillca

[Jon Kenny CA @JKcomarc]

@MyWakefield Congratulations! Every Friday morning I facilitate Queens Mill Archaeology & History group in Castleford, doing discussion led short courses interspersed with research projects. Been working in this way for years. So important to participants’ wellbeing. It’s a self funded group.

We came up with a “guess the era of the artefact” for the @ApplefieldsSchl fair stall earlier on today. Assisted by elder son as the start to his work experience week😉. Younger son not so impressed… much happier watching his iPad!

OK archaeology types… I’m after ideas! @JKcomarc is doing a stall at a school fair, spreading lurve of archaeology to others, we’ll have a load of “finds” to handle/b fascinated by, ideally we could do with a “game”, on an archaeological theme 4 fundraising. Thanks!😉 ideas?!

@AnneBoyens @PlymouthCouncil @ChrisGPackham @_JoelAshton @BBCBreaking Plymouth City Centre is a concrete jungle at the best of times. Before removing the trees.

Lovely morning for a meet up on the Sheriff Hutton motte and bailey with a couple of history society members. Very different, and very interesting.

[Jon Kenny CA @JKcomarc]

@emmar0 Of course... they should take dog years into account..

[Jon Kenny CA @JKcomarc]

Would you be interested in doing an archaeology course at a venue south of York/north of Selby? If you have 5 minutes spare we’d be keen to hear your thoughts via this survey.. https://t.co/LISfoaiMcQ many thanks!

Great that up coming Henge investigation at Kirk Hammerton gets a story in @yorkpress Thanks to Tony Hunt’s endeavours with aerial photography we look forward to supporting the local community in their search to see what might lie beneath their village.

Lovely morning with @JKcomarc @people_york history group exploring their family history @YorkExplore

[Jon Kenny CA @JKcomarc]

@brackstine @SkySportsNews So if your family is invaded in their home by armed thugs while you are at work and robbed you will just brush it off and get back to work.

[Jon Kenny CA @JKcomarc]

Great to catch up with @ian_milsted and team @YArchaeology this lunchtime 😀

[Jon Kenny CA @JKcomarc]

@lizjonwilltom She will need to calm down and stop rushing around seeking attention or rabbits tho 😄

@BreakingGroundH @EAFCharity @DickieBennett2 @DefenceHQ £120! My financial wellbeing can't run to that! And I'm a community Archaeologist.

A group of Occupational therapists from Wakefield visited us at the Skipwith Moated Site dig yesterday, as part of their team away day. It was great to have them! Let us know if your team might be interested in visiting a site, learning about it and about what goes on.

[Jon Kenny CA @JKcomarc]

Hot work doing the landscape survey with Howdenshire Archaeological Society on the moat site in Hook today!

[Jon Kenny CA @JKcomarc]

A simplified summary of the Archaeology in the trench at Skipwith Moated Site. Seem to have an earlier (say 1200s) Hall with a 1400s rebuild and then a smaller Georgian house.
