[Dr. James Dilley @ancientcraftUK]

As I seem to have a number of new followers recently, I thought it a good moment to introduce myself.

I became interested in archaeology from a young age. Collecting interesting-looking sticks and stones on walks was just the start...

I love these #MondayMystery tweets :)
Where was this do you think?

[explorethepast @ExploreThePast]

Weighing the bread at a Worcs Court Leet in 1958, for this week's #MondayMystery. Many of the legal aspects of the court have been taken over by other authorities & since 1977 has been ceremonial. Ale tasting, weighing of bread & a local fair still take place today. Where is it?

We made this little video to show the work involved in maintaining paths and how we set about this in our community. We hope we can inspire some of you to care for the footpaths in your area too.

We can create our own from family photos and a collection of pictures of our own home landscapes.
Whether in a flat or house, with or without a garden or green space we can capture and save online in YAC posts on blog sites or photo albums like https://t.co/Lmt4hvubz0

@ancientcraftUK Flinter knappers were so skilled could do it with their eyes shut. Here's Dr. Dilley demonstrating it

[Dr. James Dilley @ancientcraftUK]

Its the AncientCraft caption contest (with a prize)!
While it might look like I've forgotten my lines during filming, can you come up with a better caption?

Best caption (as decided by me and/or the reply with most likes) wins a replica handaxe!! (need to retweet this too!)

[Friendless Churches @friendschurches]

We might describe buildings as being 19th century, Elizabethan... but look a little closer... Get your nose right up to the building blocks and you might find something millions of years old. Petrified whorls, crushed crinoid beads... remains of long lost sea creatures...
