Found this online, absolutely had to share it with @Durotrigesdig @DuroDigDiaries Sorry, not sorry.

@BananaPBoat @Durotrigesdig 😂😂

There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight And silence that speaks so much louder than words #RIP

It is with great sadness that we share news of our dear friend Tim Darvill, professor of archaeology at Bournemouth University who passed away this morning Our thoughts are with his wife, family, friends and all those he inspired

*Trapped* inside Blackhammer #Neolithic chambered tomb on #Rousay in the Orcadian archipelago A fine example of a *stalled cairn* with 7 compartments for depositing human and other remains Excavated in 1936 and covered with a skylit concrete dome @HistEnvScot #TombTuesday

@ChrisOfSalisbu1 @BU_ArchAnth Good to know you'll be following along. Do hope you can visit too next June. We're not (that) far from Salisbury

@DuroDigDiaries @BU_ArchAnth I'll be following along. The Iron Age, along with the Bronze Age, and Roman Britain, are my three favourite time zones for digs. My own digging days are loooong gone, or I'd still be doing it if I could fide somewhere that took on amateur archaeologists.

@Durotrigesdig We're counting down the days

@TT_Dee @BU_ArchAnth Brilliant - So glad to hear that you enjoyed it enough to want to come back! 👍 We'll save you an Iron Age pit (or two) and hope see you in 2025 😊🤞

@AlisonVerhoeven @UndisScot @HistEnvScot @welovehistory Absolutely 💯 👍

@DuroDigDiaries @UndisScot @HistEnvScot @welovehistory Fabulous place to visit, particularly because unlike most sites on Orkney, it’s not crowded.

Want to walk along main road through the Iron Age village of Gurness #Orkney (beautifully looked after by @HistEnvScot @welovehistory) then go on in to the #broch itself and take a look around? Of course you do 😃 📽 August 2024 #HillfortsWednesday

What have Amanda and Holly found in their Iron Age storage pit? Bits of an Iron Age horse? Let's take a closer look #Durotriges24

Check out our new #stratmatessunday video where we discuss our new deviant burial! This video contains excavations of an Iron Age human skeleton from within one of our storage pits: vm.tiktok.com/ZGeweTCYH/

@dust_heat @HistEnvScot @welovehistory Thanks 😊 it's well worth a visit if you're ever in the area again 👍

@DuroDigDiaries @HistEnvScot @welovehistory A great vid 👌 I saw so much of Ancient Orkney last autumn, but not this 🤔
