@HelenKate17 We'll miss you @HelenKate17 ! Thank you for being such a great part of the ATP family!

[ATP Archaeology @atparc]

One of the many joys of working in Ardnamurchan is working with the fantastic Ardnamurchan Heritage & History Association. They've been bigging up our Twitter feed over on Facebook and we wanted to do the same! Check out their Facebook page to hear about all their amazing work!

Week 2 of @atparc and a great day for an open day!! 😍😍😍 #archaeology #ardnamurchan

[ATP Archaeology @atparc]

Wk 1 and we have dug 27 test pits, undertaken a whole lot of resistivity, with a bit of evaluation of this, and opened, cleaned and planned the west end of the possible mill structure that we initially revealed last year. Not bad for five days! I think we might deserve a day off!

Let the fun begin! #atp #ardnamurchan

@VicAGreen162 digging our wonderful horizontal mill with beautiful Swordle Bay in the background. Not a bad place to work!

A stonking morning of work, only mildly impeded by the presence of cows! 8 test pits and trench open, and the grid is up!

@Dave_H_King @ArchaeoCobb @OJTH @UoMCAHAE @ArchAncHistLeic @UoMArchaeology @UoMSALC @uomsalcstudents @OfficialUoM It's under production! New material coming in future months.

[ATP Archaeology @atparc]

We are back! And so happy to be here!

ATP19, our 14th season, begins with a site tour of Cladh Aindreis Neolithic tomb and the Viking Boat Burial, by @ArchaeoCobb and @OJTH

We'll be training Archaeology students here from @UoMCAHAE & @ArchAncHistLeic for the next 3 wks

Heritage & archaeology peeps! Can you please this share the existence of this new group. Aim is to develop a buddy system for women in the profession, & match up people working across heritage to provide support and advice https://t.co/pJSqcLN3wL @CIfA_Equality #WomeninBusiness

@JudithJesch delivered a remarkable Key Note on the Viking diaspora of Scotland. Including some outstanding #OldNorse poems. Tempting to think the #Ardnamurchan Burial belonges within these verses.

[ATP Archaeology @atparc]

It was an absolute pleasure to be @GovanStones tonight for the Key Note lecture of the @ScotlandVikings conference. Can’t wait to hear about the amazing Viking archaeology from Scotland discovered over the last 20 years, including the amazing Colleen Batey talking about our #VBB

[ATP Archaeology @atparc]

We whole heartedly advocate downloading our Antiquity article over and over and over again!

[ATP Archaeology @atparc]

@OJTH That looks like some high quality first aiding right there. ATP19 will be a safer, and ultimately more stylish, affair with that head bandage in the mix.

[ATP Archaeology @atparc]

Our sentiments exactly! Here's to next year!

[ATP Archaeology @atparc]

10m = 10metres not 10minutes!

[ATP Archaeology @atparc]

Only a few days left to go and we're recording all of our sites. 5 sections drawn in less than 10m!

[Victoria Green @VicAGreen162]

Three weeks of great #archaeology and great beaches over!! It's flown by and I can't wait to be back next year in beautiful #ardnamurchan @atparc
