A great start to two days of research and mapping
V interesting case.
Really pleased to see this from @urbanprehisto and @GordonJBarclay . Important reading. I hadn't realised just how difficult it had been for them to make an appropriate response. The actions of the Journal need some explanation.
Replying to @HawkeJon

Testing creative approaches to layered recording of places with a community focus. Or how to communicate the character of a place to others. These grants via @noonan_malcolm @ dept's will enable new grassroots heritage engagement.

Great looking project.
The Leitrim Sweathouse Project is a Leitrim County Council community heritage initiative to research Sweathouses and is funded by the Heritage Council. We are looking for volunteers to collect information and gather oral histories about Sweathouses #leitrimsweathouse #Archaeology

What is so threatening about the Archaeology Dept. at @sheffielduni that they are being reviewed with 2 options for cuts? Well-done archaeology makes a better society. #SaveSheffieldArchaeology
I did an MSc in Sheffield Uni Archaeology Dept in late '80s. It broke my brain & broadened my horizons. Still today I am only realising the meaning of some of what we learned. The review of the dept's future is ill-conceived. #savesheffieldarchaeology sites.google.com/view/save-s…
