  1. So I was watching an episode of the latest series of Digging For Britain and Meg Russell came on and... her hair! I love that bright red, I'll do that to mine one day. One day...

    (this photo doesn't do the colours justice at all, btw)

  2. Czy moglibyśmy mieć już w Polsce taki program tv o #archeologia jak #TimeTeam albo #DiggingforBritain? Czy będę skazany na wieczne oglądanie brytyjskich wykopalisk a nie polskich?

  3. Always sad when a #DiggingForBritain series ends. It's my happy place show. Thanks to @profaliceroberts.bsky.social and the team for making it. #Archaeology

  4. So #diggingforbritain S6: E2: llondinium with remains of wooden structures up to shoulder height? Absolutely amazing

  5. Prof Roberts using “C.E.” for dates in her #DiggingForBritain script, but the graphics dept still using “A.D.”. :-/ #archaeology

  6. "It has a silver-and-gilt hilt, with a decorative pattern in fine craftsmanship, and a blade bearing a runic script. Even elements of its leather-and-wood scabbard and the beaver fur that lined it have also survived. Attached to its pommel is a ring, perhaps symbolising an oath to a king or another high-status individual."

  7. After the #DiggingForBritain cameras stopped rolling last summer in Forty Hall, we discovered a building with a very deep rubble-filled cellar, possibly within our elusive Tudor palace gatehouse.
    The rubble was so deep we were unable to safely excavate it completely with the time remaining, but did get a tantalizing glimpse of this octagonal pillar base, probably a support for the cellar ceiling.
    We'll be back from July 7th-21st to get to the bottom of this new building.

    When digging my veg plot which is an ancient 'burgage plot', I collect all the broken parts of clay pipes. So far only found one bowl but many inches of pipe stem!

  17. Here's a '3D Model' we made, using Sony Cameras on a 10m pole, since Drones are banned, of Arthur's Stone, a neolithic burial chamber in Herefordshire.
    We used Sony Cameras on poles and on the ground, as drones are banned from flying over English Heritage sites 😞

  18. @aliceroberts I enjoyed seeing the Roman finds in last night’s #diggingforbritain in the town I live in #BishopsStortford. Thanks for the great show 👍🏼😃

  19. Stunning discoveries in a field in #Rutland following accidental moments by a farmer over lockdown. Further information on recent work since it featured on #DiggingforBritain which also push the sites founding further back in time. All photos are credit #HistoricEngland and can be found in this article along with a great story of collaboration & partnership. Very jealous #archaeologist here!
