#InternationalLandscapeDay Follow one of our Landscape Archaeologists on a bird’s eye view of Grimston, where he shares what we have learnt of the changing face of the Yorkshire Wolds. #Archaeology
@SAHS_org have been back out to Buttercrambe, North Yorkshire, to continue our work at Aldby Park. We were surveying the remains of formal gardens, abandoned house plots and trackways, the work revealing a fascinating picture of change and continuity. #landscapearchaeology
Prof Nicky Milner’s back on TV- she was recently invited to visit the 'Great British Dig' tent. To illustrate the archaeology of Yorkshire, Nicky showed Hugh Dennis some finds from Flixton and Star Carr for the next series. We’ll let you know when it’s on!

A weekend excavating at Thorn Park Farm, near Raincliffe Wood, exploring a square enclosure seen on aerial photographs. @SAHS_org discovered a deep gully which may have held a line of upright wooden posts forming a palisade. We now await radiocarbon results.
The remains of a fourth century #Roman signal station at #Scarborough Castle. It is one of at least five along that stretch of coast, built to warn against raids. Excavated in the 1920s, it is slowly eroding into the sea. @EnglishHeritage#RomanSiteSaturday#RomanBritain
We are 4 days into the Scarborough Big Dig and boy what a 4 days it has been! We’ve welcomed 130 students to site, residents from the Jazz Court, and spoken to lots of visitors! The finds have been spectacular too! Excited for the next few days!! @bigideassea@SAHS_org
This excavation will form part of a wider project to study the historic landscape of Thorn Park Farm which is known to have included a deer park in the middle ages belonging to the manor of Seamer.
On a cold but sunny Sunday members of @SAHS_org field team undertook a geophysical survey across the line of a probable double-ditch track in the fields of Thorn Park Farm at the foot of Raincliffe Woods near Scarborough.
@HE_Archaeology mapped the track as a cropmark while our @SAHS_org geophysical survey pinpointed its exact location on the ground. We plan to excavate a section across the feature later this month to try and date it.
🔥HOT OFF THE PRESS🔥
In September 2021 the SAHS field team excavated a fabulous high-status medieval building on Castle Hill, Brompton. The full report is now available on our website for you to read - enjoy!

Star Carr is regarded as one of the most important and informative Mesolithic sites in Europe.
Join us tomorrow for an introduction to the site and its amazing archaeological remains in the Yorkshire Museum in a free online talk at 12:30!
