@DavidPetts1 randomly yes, although not easily available there's a massive project going on to 3D map the whole of France by 2026 using Lidar, https://t.co/ByaLh9Ity6, and there's this which is essentially lidarfinder for France and so not massively detailed, https://t.co/IUQh4XSX7M

@DavidPetts1 I thought that was its full name that was only used when it got told off?

@TheDigVenturers @earth_trust i'm not just being silly, it is actually the name for this type of comb, from the late Roman period and one of the very very few grave goods we found at the Earth Trust

@TheDigVenturers @earth_trust rotate it 90 degrees and it's an owl!

This is something I wrote last year, it was quite a cool project, not everyday you get to dig a drawbridge pit!

This year our dig at Lindisfarne has taught us to expect the unexpected. Check out what we uncovered on site last week...

This is a super cool thing that we found last year, my only caveat to the article is we haven’t definitively dated them to the 8th/9th century yet, still waiting on C14 results, they are definitely early medieval though!! https://t.co/DIKdlCkS5e

🚨NEWS FROM #LINDISFARNEDIG! 🐠 🦴 👀 The excellent team at @ArchaeologyBiz @Dr_Fishbones has spotted our first-ever grave goods, and it’s a doozy!

Although we don’t have a huge amount of evidence for farming, we got a tantalising glimpse at what was there, and I’m pretty sure people were living there in the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age

I’ve somehow ended up at a Roy Orbison tribute in a social club in Ipswich, not entirely sure how this has happened

Never in a million years did we think we'd be digging up Ice Age mammoths with Sir David Attenborough! But we did and it's now one of Britain's most important Ice Age sites! Thanks to @HistoricEngland @Dr_Fishbones @Ben_garrod for being part of our team!

I've got the attention span of a gnat today

Fun things I'm imagining about the site I'm currently writing up is that it was overrun with sausage dogs and everyone had a pet crow. #archaeology
