I've always loved the story of Gawain and the Green Knight, so how does the new film stand up to expectations? #TheGreenKnight smporterauthor.co.uk/blog/the-green…

Enjoyed getting out to see British Museum #Neroexhibition today, interesting to see a different take on this emperor and some outstanding artefacts to look at! Loved seeing all the politically motivated coins!

UAUK stands for Archaeology as an inclusive, welcoming and accessible discipline. As such, we are very disappointed to see reports in some media outlets this week which target individuals, and which grossly over-simplify complex aspects of teaching this subject.

So here's the thing about the "hahaha I'll just buy and return this ebook because I'm a dick" trend going around. Yes, we pay for it. WE. The authors. Last month, someone in France bought a copy of Miss Percy. And returned it. 🧵

This makes for sad reading, I love my job but so many of us are struggling to live if we want to maintain archaeology as a career. I've seen so many good archaeologists just give up, it's not right
