Just read that the infamous Neolithic pigs from Scotland, reported by some of these authors back in 2019, were ‘only’ from England or Wales 🤓 Pb - another isotope to keep an eye on. #PLOSONE: Applying Pb isotopes to explore mobility in humans and animals dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…
In my local Shawlands (Glasgow, Scotland) Co-op at lunch today and shocked by the number of patrons unmasked. BUT worse was the number of employees (including a woman greeting and answering ?s) without masks. Hey @coopuk masks are still required in Scotland…let your stores know!
Hey all. This looks like a fantastic community project on North Ronaldsay that will also have a big environmental impact. I've pledged my support for recycling beach plastic – have you? Check it out communityfund.calor.co.uk/be…
Do you feel like supporting the arts during Covid? @scottishballet is putting on a feature-length film (scottishballet.co.uk/event/t…). Join them by streaming for free…or better yet give a donation!! The choice is yours, but if The Swan short is any indication, this will be great!!
So happy to see Gary Lloyd of @UHIArchaeology win this award (orkney.uhi.ac.uk/news/archae…). It was a real treat to everyone in the Radiocarbon Lab @SUERC1 to have him here. Hope to see him again in East Kilbride!!

Hey @Delta your face mask ‘rule’ makes me feel super safe when on board your aircraft. I especially like how your staff ignored the chap in my row for over an hour, from take off all the way through to landing...nothing more exciting than #flyingTheCovidSkies

Not one to seek out or share cat pics but I couldn’t resist. This little guy has picked a heck of a spot to nap today. Yes, I can see the monitor, but that doesn’t mean I’m not thoroughly distracted!!

Fantastic PhD opportunity being sponsored by an archaeological unit and to be undertaken at any British university. cotswoldarchaeology.co.uk/va… @CotswoldArch #archaeology – at East Kilbride, Scotland
Sampling is complete so a leisurely lunch and stroll in the footsteps of the Templars... and yes the wine shop was the lunch venue 😝

Finished sampling early while in the Île-de-France region? Visit the Prehistory Museum in Nemours. Not only will you see this incredible section in person but the presentation of the material is fantastic! (Even when you walk it in reverse chronological order)

Behind this unassuming facade lies the Centre Departamental Archeologie de la Bassé where @TactileArchaeol and I had a great day sampling remains from Gouaix.

Always smile when I read the news and there is a mention of work by my colleagues @SUERC1 But in this case it’s much closer to home as the work is lead by Elaine and Gordon in our radiocarbon lab!! #whisky #radiocarbon news.sky.com/story/whisky-sc… – at Glasgow, Scotland
Really looking forward to the start of the @ERC_Research funded COMMIOS project being headed by Ian Armit at @UoYArchaeology with partners in the @BritGeoSurvey, @Harvard, and @SUERC1. Post-doc positions are being advertised here jobs.ac.uk/search/?keywords=…
The @UofGArchaeo PGTs learning about archaeological science @SUERC1. #radiocarbon #stableisotopes #strontium #luminescence are all being covered today!!
Great to see the posters from the

An exotic-looking orange bird couldn’t fly was rescued on the side of a UK motorway. What a riveting opening set of lines...Happy Tuesday!! washingtonpost.com/science/2…
