A week today I'll be heading to the Black Diamond Theatre at the NationalMiningMuseum in #Newtongrange to talk about how Stobs internees kept themselves motivated during the First World War. Come along & join us for this FREE talk! Everyone welcome! Friday 2 June at 11am 👇 #WW1

Battlefield preservation with the gloves off! Love this striking image from my late collaborator Andrew Hillhouse.

I wonder how many buttons were lost from military uniforms across the vast #MornHillCamp landscape during #WW1? What would the original owner of this button have made of it being found by an archaeology student more than 100 years later, put in a bag & it's location 3d recorded?

What a super location! We're at the NationalMiningMuseum to give a Stobs talk at 11am. It's FREE and everyone is welcome! Archaeology Scotland
