Fun last week GPSing station stones and trying out the 360 camera with @FSilva_skyscape for something exciting happening at the end of this month!🌝✨ #stonehenge #lunar

[Time Team @thetimeteam]

Meg will be joining us as part of the crew this week as we dig at Norton Disney!

We can’t wait to see how she gets on, and to make it a bit sweeter, we have decided to offer 15% off the entire shop throughout the dig when you use the code MEG15 🙌🏼

We’re off! 🚗

The team are assembling at Norton Disney as we speak!

Will we find the ancient ancestry of the iconic Walt Disney himself?
Will we unearth some centuries old artefacts?
Will we escape the British rain?! ☔️

Whatever it is, we’ve just got 3 days to do it! 😁

[Time Team @thetimeteam]

Day 1 - Done ✔️

Seems like a busy but exciting first day for Meg and the crew yesterday, let’s hope the weather and the stamina will hold out for the rest of the weekend 😁

Over on Patreon we’ve got a Q&A with the crew!
Day 2 let’s go! 🙌🏼

@orlacraig Thank you🥹

[Richard Osgood @richardhosgood]

This 100%. Archaeology should be a safe space for everyone. There’s no excuse for it #OutOfContext

[Tess Machling @Tess_Machling]

Absolutely! Utterly unacceptable behaviour. #OutOfContext

#Archaeology

[Orla Craig @orlacraig]

From sexual harassment to the all-too-common everyday misogyny of being condescended to by (often less-experienced) men on site, it’s time that archaeology is made a safe and welcoming space for all of us. Let’s take this shite #OutOfContext

[Meg Russell @Megs_Digs]

Thank you for sharing your story❤️

[Tess Machling @Tess_Machling]

Back in 80s & 90s when I was employed as a field arch, 'banter', crappy comments & blatant sexism were common, we dealt with it day to day.

It's so bloody depressing that it's still here - I now get it as a female researcher.

Good for @Megs_Digs in calling it out

#OutOfContext

[bronwenrussell⛏🏺🎨💃 @Curious_Bronwen]

In all its forms we need to stand up against harassment and bullying. When we are made to feel foolish that it’s just ‘bants’ or we’ve taken comments #OutOfContext it’s time to take a stand for ourselves or as an ally to a colleague! #stratmates @Megs_Digs
