HOT OFF THE PRESS!
@ucdarchaeology are delighted that "A Hillfort Through Time: Excavations at Rathgall, Co. Wicklow" has just been published.
We look forward to the official launch but in the meantime you can get your copies from @wordwellbooks at: https://t.co/LB2fs096Yn
And another success for Nature!
Congratulations to all the local campaigners whose determined work against the Norwich Western Link has stopped this ridiculously outdated road scheme from smashing a dual carriageway through the beautiful & Nature-rich Wensum Valley.
This victory should all Nature protectors hope: even big & seemingly unstoppable damaging schemes can be halted with tenacity & persistence.
Trump’s withdrawal from Paris #climate agreement is an act of environmental vandalism & shows what the fossil fuel industry can buy with their $75m donation to his campaign. But remember leaders across US are already taking stronger climate action & the economic case is clear
He’s back . And he’s doing exactly what he said he would . Executive orders to expand drilling in the Alaskan wilderness , the guise of a ‘National Energy Emergency’ to slash red tape and regulation for fossil fuel companies , and the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement . Yes it’s a set back . A major one . But we cannot give up . Not now , not ever .
In the UK I’m campaigning for a ban on fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship , because for too long these companies have had largely unlimited £££ to greenwash their filthy reputations . No more .

The fight continues to save Brislington Meadows SNCI. We won’t give up because this is far from over. @AngelaRayner are you going to continue Gove’s legacy (see video below) and do nothing or are you going to step up and save this rare nature site your party promised to save.
Solar panels on all suitable new homes is a win-win-win: cutting bills, cutting emissions, and making UK more energy secure. We've got a vanishingly small window of chance to prevent climate breakdown & we need to take every chance we can get to bring down emissions

Finds from #Pompeii in the news again, with some spectacular new discoveries - working someday at this amazing #Roman site is still very high on my archaeological bucket list!

Another wildly overstated tunnel rumour, this time by @bbchw Lots wrong w/ this story from #Evesham Building described as 16thC coaching inn. No coaching inns before late 17thC. "Tunnel" is really a 4.5m cavity. Nothing to link it with either monks or smugglers. Do better #BBC
Female family ties at the heart of the Late Iron Age
An excellent article by @larsonchristina in the @Independent summarising the results of our joint @tcddublin@bournemouthuni@BristolUni research into the DNA of the Durotriges
