Just wondering: Does anyone know of any sources/reports that discuss differences between recent archaeological excavation programmes of Scotland/Ireland/Northern Ireland (or any combination of these)?

Interested to look at the varying site distributions and if there are varying trends in what types of sites are being excavated more frequently where.

Thank you for helping out a tired PhD student! 😂

Right at the beginning of the Kiel Conference #KielScales23 the first highlight: The awarding of the Johanna Mestorf Award to Iris Nießen for an excellent dissertation on the development of a settlement located on the banks of the Danube into a quarter of the medieval city #Regensburg. Congratulations! More information: https://www.uni-kiel.de/de/detailansicht/news/064-jmaward #archaeology #history #middleages #medievalarchaeology @archaeodons @histodons

🏰Announcement time🏰
The Castle Studies Trust have decided which projects they're funding this year. It's an exciting bunch and I'm looking forward to the results later this year. Check out the CST blog for more details http://castlestudiestrust.org/blog/2023/02/08/the-castle-studies-trust-five-projects-for-2023/ #MedievalArchaeology #archaeology #castles #CastleStudies #CastleStudiesTrust

The recent article on Pevensey Castle had more implications for working out whether it was slighted in 1216 that I first realised. It's handy to have time to read through articles in their entirety. https://richardthecastellan.wordpress.com/2023/01/29/another-piece-of-the-pevensey-puzzle/ #PevenseyCastle #CastleSlighting #SussexArchaeologicalCollections #MedievalArchaeology

Some serious pros and cons to editing videos of online talks
✅ I get to hear again fun things about castles, including the discovery of a new gatehouse
❌ I just heard myself say 'North West' when I meant 'North East' and there's no easy way to edit it out since I was introducing the speaker.

Check out the Castle Studies Group's Vimeo channel and see if you can spot more Easter eggs: https://vimeo.com/castlestudiesgroup #Castles #CastleStudies #MedievalArchaeology

You can rely on the Castle Studies Group Journal for interesting articles. The latest volume was released last month, and one article in particular caught my eye (the others look good to!). So I made a few notes... https://richardthecastellan.wordpress.com/2023/01/04/new-interpretations-of-castle-gates/ #castles #MedievalArchaeology #medieval #CastleStudiesGroupJournal #gatehouse

Nice way to end the week with the latest copy of the the Sussex Archaeological Collections arriving. I was not expecting an article on Pevensey so I am very excited. My Christmas reading list keeps getting longer. #PevenseyCastle #castles #archaeology #medieval #medievalarchaeology

Hi Betty here, non-diary vegetarian witch and socialist- too woke for Twitter these days apparently. Archaeology is my passion, especially Medieval era, Viking and Saxons. I love old pots and experimental archaeology and forensic archaeology. Also interested in folklore. #archaeology #medievalarchaeology #forensicarchaeology #Vikings #folklore

Hi all! New platform, new introduction!

I’m Sophie, and I’m currently researching for a PhD at the University of St Andrews. My research focus is on all things #earlymedieval especially the #medievalhistory and #archaeology of connectivity across the North Channel. Follow for random archaeology thoughts, #landscape pics, and more!
