@tobyfmartin Lovely to hear - thanks so much Toby!

[Dr Kate Mees @meesolithic]

@SueBrunningBM @CanaryCaroline @boydellbrewer Congratulations Sue!

[Dr Sue Brunning @SueBrunningBM]

Well this was a nice thing to greet me today - my book about #swords is out now! *Enormous* thanks to @CanaryCaroline & the smashing team @boydellbrewer, you were wonderful. The small matter of a gallery refurb delayed it for 5 years so it means a lot to see it out at *long* last

[DJ Musgrove @DJMusgrove]

Just been talking to @DrSueOosthuizen about the arrival (or otherwise) of the English after the end of Roman Britain for @HistoryExtra podcast. One of the questions she asks is,"should we be talking about 'Anglo-Saxon England' at all for that period?"

[Dr Kate Mees @meesolithic]

@NorseLass Thank you so much!

[Dr Kate Mees @meesolithic]

And in addition to #MedievalTwitter, there’s also quite a lot in here that should appeal to #LandscapeArchaeology tweeps, prehistorians, and anyone interested the long-term biographies of monuments and persistent places.

NEW: Burial, Landscape and Identity in Early Medieval Wessex by Kate Mees

Mees explores how the cultural & physical environment influenced funerary traditions during the period and includes a gazetteer of over 200 burial sites in the area https://t.co/zEXFb0XLdm #MedievalTwitter

[Dr Kate Mees @meesolithic]

@dbrear2 Yes, discussed possible images with production dept. before deciding on this painting, which I thought would work well! So, bought the licence and the cover designer worked their magic. All the maps & plans inside are my own or redrawn, but a professional illustrator can be used.

[Dr Kate Mees @meesolithic]

Excited to reveal that my book is now dressed to impress (all you early medieval burial/landscape enthusiasts) and almost ready to hit the shelves..! ✨

More about that cover image 🙌
https://t.co/Dm853LkwTJ

[Dr Kate Mees @meesolithic]

...The cover features Thomas Guest’s 1814 depiction of Anglo-Saxon finds from within a prehistoric barrow at Winterslow, Wiltshire.

Rediscovered in the 1930s, and now in @SalisburyMuseum, his work has drawn comparisons with that of Paul Nash. Read more ➡️ https://t.co/UvMLtkJzva

@EmilyGlass76 Thanks Emily!

[Dr Kate Mees @meesolithic]

@S_G_Smith Ha! Not to mention the fact that the monthly expenditure on oil would be more than the cost of the book...

@mrsbones68 Thank you Marion!

The first publication 'Gender and medieval archaeology: Storming the castle' from my @MSCActions project was published in @AntiquityJ today! I am proud of it, and I hope it speaks to some of the issues we are still facing in academia #genderbias #feminism https://t.co/OcFKysLCls
