@RobertHamnett @cubitt_cox Thank you for your reply. I liked the sound of an app, to help identify pottery but could not see how to make it work. I was going to try it out on this sherd, which I think is Roman grey ware- poor photo! Your pottery guides are excellent.

Help please with #pottery. Has anyone got Archaide, the pottery ID app to work on their phone? Many thanks. @RobertHamnett @cubitt_cox

Many thanks to @NTBeningbrough head gardener Sam Shipman for a fantastic garden tour today. The transformation of the cherry tree lawn where we dug, to a fantastic new Mediterranean garden is almost complete.

@Phil_M_Barrett @DrAdamChapman Sounds like a very defensive attitude, perhaps feeling 'threatened' by many tools (Lidar, GIS, etc) now being widely available to us wrinkly amateurs.
