@WhatKatieDigs Saw this this morning-great news for a great department, congrats to you all!

Lovely news for our little feisty department - and for our Anthropology colleagues too!

@GiselleKiraly Come for the legends, stay for the amazing archaeology 😍

I guess it’s not just where a talking lion died? New archaeological discoveries set to transform understanding of Arthur’s Stone 😳 manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/… @ArchaeOverton 👀👀

🎉 👏 #Footmarks is published in the US today! For those that don’t know, it is a book about archaeology and movement, footprints, paths, roads, crossing lands and seas. A celebration of pilgrims and travellers and migrants. Here is a bit more info 👇 youtu.be/hHo4fA01W0Q

Our new paper on the #Neolithic #Archaeology of Dorstone Hill, including new Bayesian chronology, has now been made #OpenAccess . Come one, come all, and give it a read! cambridge.org/core/journals/… @UoMCAHAE @UoMSALC @UoMNews @CUHistArchRel

One last thanks to everyone involved, staff, students, volunteers, visitors, and everyone in the local community-these excavations could not succeed without all of you. Only 11 more months until we can be back digging in Herefordshire once again!

Over at the other excavation running as part of this project, Tim Hoverd and team continued to investigate the Norman Snodhill Castle; have a listen to this to find out more: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0g…

The sun has set on another season of excavation at #ArthursStone #Herefordshire, and it has been a truly wonderful and memorable month...🧵@DigitalSelf4 @UoMCAHAE @UoMNews @UoMSALC @HistoricEngland @EnglishHeritage @Archaeology_ws @CUHistArchRel

@MesoPlants @HistoricEngland @EnglishHeritage @UoMCAHAE @UoMNews We had to call in the big guns to clean it!

Final day of excavations at #ArthursStone, with the glorious passage entrance, and in the other field, an amazing prehistoric quarry! It's been a truly epic four weeks. @HistoricEngland @EnglishHeritage @UoMCAHAE @UoMNews

@PeterReavill @UoMNews @UoMCAHAE @EnglishHeritage @HistoricEngland Lovely to meet you too, thanks for coming and spending some time with the team!

@ArchaeOverton @UoMNews @UoMCAHAE @EnglishHeritage @HistoricEngland It was brilliant catching up with you & Tom yesterday, thank you for the time explaining the work and the care you are taking of one of Herefordshire's most delicate and precious monuments.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of planning the wall and passage entrance of #ArthursStone. It's not every day you get to work with such spectacular #Neolithic #Archaeology @UoMNews @UoMCAHAE @EnglishHeritage @HistoricEngland

@ArchaeoRowe @R1100GSBlueNose @UoMNews @UoMCAHAE @EnglishHeritage @HistoricEngland It's glorious isn't it?

@ArchaeOverton @R1100GSBlueNose @UoMNews @UoMCAHAE @EnglishHeritage @HistoricEngland Oh would you just look at the variable weathering on that far orthostat!

@PVBuk @UoMNews @UoMCAHAE @EnglishHeritage @HistoricEngland Sorry! It's Arthur's Stone, early Neolithic long Cairn in Herefordshire. The plan is of the western outer wall and entrance.

@ArchaeOverton @UoMNews @UoMCAHAE @EnglishHeritage @HistoricEngland Where’s that? 😊 No alt-text on the images. 😕

@ArchaeOverton interviewed by the @BBCNews on very exciting discoveries being made at Arthur's Stone, involving staff and students from the Department and @CUHistArchRel. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

@GarryLavin @UoMNews @UoMCAHAE Absolutely! This year is even more exciting than last year-we are here until the 23rd, so come and see us again!

@ArchaeOverton @UoMNews @UoMCAHAE I visited last summer…..still going on then?

End of week three at #ArthursStone, and the inclement weather brings some magical moments! #Neolithic #Archaeology @UoMNews @UoMCAHAE

An important milestone today here at #ArthursStone, #Herefordshire: a 4 hour meeting with my inspector colleagues from @HistoricEngland to decide whether we can investigate the entrance of the passageway to reveal potentially priceless in-situ #Neolithic #Archaeology
