Super exciting stuff. To crown it all a 'Durotrigian Eve' ! We are all going to have to think about our understanding of IA society. It would be really helpful if Welsh bones could stop dissolving in our acidic souls.

Annual migration to @TAG45BU. Excellent fun as always catching up with old friends and having my brain melted by the very best thinkers.

The 'path of querns' was amongst my favourite finds from Porth y Rhaw. Like many archaeologists it's the quiet personal finds which give a glimpse into people's lives rather than the glittering objects that I find most special.

I have been slow to the internet to mark the passing of Tim Darvill, a close friend, mentor, and colleague. A real titan of prehistory, I have had the privilege of working closely with Tim since my teenage years No one has had a greater impact on my understanding of the past.
