Fantastic to be a part of this project w. Dr. Ben Chan, @CSHoggard, @annelouvangijn & others). A few years in the making. Great to see it out in @PLOSONE

@SueGreaney Huge congratulations Sue!!!

@stueve @johnphillips185 This is just utterly horrific!

@SueGreaney Huge Congratulations!!!

@TheDigVenturers @huw_groucutt @joshuathogue @_UoW @Ben_garrod Amazing! Any use-wear analysis being undertaken or planned for the lithic material?

[Richard Osgood @richardhosgood]

I remain staunchly committed to experimental archaeology in spite of the abject failure of my latest project - a recreation of the Bronze Age axe in @WiltshireMuseum made from Shropshire blue cheese. Ceremonial it wasn’t

This post hole keeps going down and down! No sign of the bottom yet but it's time to step the section to make it safe to dig further!

Great fun making this #paleolithic handaxe & large levallois core this afternoon!

@ArchaeoRowe @sotonarch @SWWDTP @NeolithicStud @HumanitiesUoS @UniSotonAlumni @PhDsofSoton Yep that's the one! Were excavating structure 5

[Jake Rowland @Jake_Rowland1]

Great to be back digging holes in the Wiltshire countryside! Look at the size of these post holes and we've not got to the bottom yet!

Loved visiting @SalisburyMuseum today on our day off from digging. The Wessex gallery is just fantastic!

[Jake Rowland @Jake_Rowland1]

Antlers assemble... flint knapping soft hammers, pressure flakers and punches ready for @lithicsociety knapping weekend @butserfarm!!!

[Jake Rowland @Jake_Rowland1]

Huge pair of naturally shed red deer antlers ready to make lots of knapping tools for @lithicsociety knapping weekend @butser_ancient_farm!!!

Still a couple spaces left https://t.co/lN6Ruares3

[ArchaeologyUK @archaeologyuk]

Great news! Archaeology has now been grouped with other STEM subjects removing the threat of proposed budget cuts for higher education teaching. Fantastic to have worked with orgs such as @UAUK_Matters @InstituteArch @APPGArchaeology @Heritage_NGOs to help overturn this decision.

[Jake Rowland @Jake_Rowland1]

@stueve Happy Birthday Stu! Looking forward to catching up soon :D

[Jake Rowland @Jake_Rowland1]

Exciting parcel arrived today from @ancientcraftUK! Some antler hammers & tines for @LithicSociety and some lime bast for some #usewear experiments #Archaeology #PhDlife

[Jake Rowland @Jake_Rowland1]

Polishing amber has to be one of the most satisfying material transformations! The way the material refracts light still has the same allure it did 5500 years ago. #ExperimentalArchaeology #Neolithic #PhDlife

[The Lithic Studies Society @LithicSociety]

If you are a member of the society you can now book a place on our informal knapping weekend, which will be held during the first weekend of August at Butser Ancient Farm! Information on how to book has been sent to members via email! @butserfarm

Some #Neolithic bling in progress!
