Graduation 2024! It's been a busy year but so happy to have graduated from my MSc! Proud of myself for finally taking the step to do my Masters and hopefully won't wait as long before jumping right back in for a PhD 🎉

Ayrshire Young Archaeology Club (YAC) 🖐️⚒️

In our first session of 2025, #AyrshireYAC were looking at Roman mosaics and having a go at creating our own 🖼️

We drafted out our designs on paper before using clay and glass tiles to bring them to life ✨

A huge thank you to everyone who has taken part in our community excavations over the past 8 days - over 130 people!

What better way to celebrate the end of backfilling than with pizzas from The Auchans, Dundonald!
