Southampton's West gate (Southern England) reconstruction mock-up. Some of King Henry V's forces passed thru these gates boarding ships for France in 1415 leading to the famous Battle of Agincourt. #SouthamptonTownWalls #EnglishCoastalCastles #HistoryRebuilt

Anthedon is one of #Gaza's most important sites, currently on #UNESCO tentative list. Its multiperiod features are found on land, eroding on the coast & underwater. Recent imagery shows a large segment of Anthedon cleared after airstrikes in October 2023 (as well as 2014 & 2021).
A great day of talks at #CAAUK23 conference today @caa_uk. Great to be able to see the exciting and innovative work being done currently by archaeologists across the UK and beyond.
A huge thanks to the organising committee for putting everything together!
