Our feature at the Tarradale "Barns" continues to perplex us. It now looks like we have set of steps leading down into the feature, which have then been blocked up. We also have early indications of a cobbled surface dipping down towards the centre of the pit. Watch this space!

Our likely kiln at Tarradale is looking ever more persuasive. Digging is still happening with a very reduced workforce (usually one!) on odd days. Yesterday the conditions were quite challenging, but the results speak for themselves!

"My membership body says I have to"
"my supervisor says no"
"I was trained this way"
These are all cop-outs! We are responsible for our own ethical decision making. It's not enough to disown our power and tell a client that some invisible power is responsible for our actions.

Another weekend pursuing the remains of the "barns" shown on the 1788 Tarradale estate map with a select group of volunteers. Some new areas stripped by the mechanical digger proved to be more interesting than we at first thought. We will be back!

"I wanna share something my therapist said that blew my mind: 'Your anger is the part of you that knows your mistreatment and abuse are unacceptable. Your anger knows you deserve to be treated well, and with kindness. Your anger is a part of you that loves you.'" ~Lynds Gallant

Very moving to watch Freud's Last Session (starring Anthony Hopkins, Matthew Goode) at Freud Museum last night. They are displaying set designs for the film including Freud's study. You feel the family could walk in the door at any moment @FreudMusLondon https://t.co/gODvSd1lFH

We return to excavations of our possible farm building on the weekend of 8th and 9th June. We hope we have a wall of the building shown on the 1788 Estate map. See https://t.co/XEJzbE7DTJ

Tarradale Distillery Excavation. We intend to open a few trenches over the possible site of a distillery shown on the 1788 map. Friday 3rd May to Monday 6th May 2024, perhaps extending further into the week if necessary. See https://t.co/XEJzbE7DTJ.

Here is the double pierced cowrie shell found during finds sorting at Tarradale this week. We think it may have been used as a bead some 6 or 7000 years ago! #mesolithic
