Vital the Flow Country's peat bogs are protected for the environment. It also contains a crashed #WW2 B-17 from an RAF meteorological flight surveyed by Dr Terence Christian, Dr Ryan K. McNutt and myself. A tragic crash landing, the preservation is astounding. bbc.co.uk/programmes/art…

My friend just posted this on FB of us in Casablanca.... was 1986....35 years ago!! 😳

As an academic and TV researcher, I appreciate this thread and its promotion of honest and politely upfront communication between academia and the media

YIKES! This is probably the best and clearest example I've ever seen for why battlefield preservation is important. Less than a decade between photos!

New, brilliant Viking scholarship! Congrats, Dr. Horne, on the new book! Highly recommend preordering a copy now. (I know I am!)

My new book is out in hardback, but also in electronic versions (Kindle, Google Books). The book trys to make sense of the early Viking Age in Ireland and Britain and suggests trade might help explain the shape it took #Vikings #earlymedieval #archaeology routledge.com/A-Viking-Marke…

Gathering material for lectures in #conflict #archaeology and came across the incredible coolness of Shirley Slade, #WWII US WASP Pilot in this 1943 photo from LIFE. She flew everything from P-39 and P-51s to B-26 Marauders in multiple non-combat roles books.google.com/books?id=MVAEA…
