Hey Tweeps, could you please repost, I’m trying to both raise £ for the museum & earn a living from these courses. This broken platform has only got 10 likes today. I need to fill the session on Sunday 22/9 to make it pay. Learning an ancient skill has to be a great last minute…
Come along and learn a new skill at our - Anglo-Saxon knotwork Carving course @WiltshireMuseum is in a couple of weeks time - Saturday is sold out - but there are a few places left for Sunday if you fancy… wiltshiremuseum.org.uk/?event=day-cou…
Excellent gig seeing New Starts at The Lexington supported by Carla J. Easten and Beckon. @darrenhayman please say you're doing more!
Day 4 at Boles Barrow. We think we have found 19th trench in the photo (owned by @WiltshireMuseum) with bone fragments - possibly human? Lots more flint & a @BBCCountryfile visit as part of a forthcoming prog. @wessexarch #wellbeing #veterans #archaeology @ArmywidowsA @mod_dio

Tomorrow we start Exercise Bluestone - a 2 week investigation of the fabled Boles Barrow on Salisbury Plain? How much will be discover about earlier fieldwork and will we have any answers about the purported Bluestone from this monument? Watch this space! #Archaeology #veterans
Day 3 at Boles barrow. Super progress on the barrow mound with lots more flint inc this rather splendid core. Also we think we located the old water tower pipe that Prof Piggott photod mid 20th c on the mound! High hopes for tomorrow. @wessexarch @mod_dio #Archaeology #veterans
Can we share this as much as possible so that this undoubtedly emotionally valuable letter reaches its owner? It was written by Lt. Prebble to the wife of Pte. S. Webb in 1918 and recently left behind on Tyne Cot Cemetery. vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2024…
