Interesting little heated stone arrangement with lots of charcoal and limpets very low in the stratigraphy of Priory Midden. Just the stuff they found at Cnoc Coig but the previous dig stopped 5 cm short of it. Whoops!

Interesting read on a hotly debated topic... ☝️🤔

From Knowable Magazine: What archaeology reveals about the rise of autocracy | Knowable Magazine knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...

A new book explores how the terms “Viking” & “Viking Age” have been understood, adapted and misused from the early Middle Ages to the present day. Edited by our LEIZA researcher Thorsten Lemm, it brings together fresh perspectives from research, education and society.

Located in the South Caucasus, Azykh is a promising site for researching the Middle Palaeolithic and possible Neanderthal remains. #archaeology
