@archaeoyannick @WRoCAH Thank you for such an interesting talk. We think medieval pottery is amazing too!

I had the absolute pleasure of giving a webinar for the Roads to the Past (@TLSBigDig) group last night, talking about my research on pottery production in medieval Yorkshire. Such a great opportunity to share some of my interim results. Thanks so much for having me! (@WRoCAH)

@RobertHamnett @cubitt_cox Thank you for your reply. I liked the sound of an app, to help identify pottery but could not see how to make it work. I was going to try it out on this sherd, which I think is Roman grey ware- poor photo! Your pottery guides are excellent.

@TLSBigDig @cubitt_cox How big, and what is the location? Looks roughly glazed half way up the external body, with a big rolled or hammer rim. If UK, it could be a Midlands Purple Ware type affair? So 16th - 18th century?

Help please with #pottery. Has anyone got Archaide, the pottery ID app to work on their phone? Many thanks. @RobertHamnett @cubitt_cox

Many thanks to @NTBeningbrough head gardener Sam Shipman for a fantastic garden tour today. The transformation of the cherry tree lawn where we dug, to a fantastic new Mediterranean garden is almost complete.

@ArchaeoChris @nationaltrust @The_RHS Looking forward to our tour of Beningbrough Gardens in June.

Great to see the @nationaltrust Octavia Hill garden at @The_RHS Chelsea Flower Show today! Looking fantastic!

Digging in this garden continues Mon & Thurs next week.

We are looking forward to exploring this trench over the next 2 weeks. @Altogether_Arch @ElmetArch @ArchaeoChris @CBA_Yorkshire

@Phil_M_Barrett @DrAdamChapman Sounds like a very defensive attitude, perhaps feeling 'threatened' by many tools (Lidar, GIS, etc) now being widely available to us wrinkly amateurs.

@DrAdamChapman My working life was computers, something I also dabbled in and still do, but now applied to Archaeology (which I also dabble in). 👍

I have never moved in the rarified atmosphere of #Academia. I am a totally unqualified pensioner who really enjoys archaeology and am possibly mild mannered 🤔😉. This was a message from a celebrity #Archaeologist and Academic! 😳 Me! And possibly my appreciative audience ! 🤣😂

Talks about Lead Mining and our excavations at Plover Hall, Gueswick and Kirkhaugh. Saturday 20th May at 11.00 St John's Chapel Village Hall @ArchandArch @ArcDurham @spe_ny @NorthPennAONB @DavidPetts1 @uplandarchist @still_trowles @TLSBigDig @PurpleFluorspar @DiggerSteveB
