Hellebore out today means that I get to read about my favourite things: pink Floyd and Alice in Wonderland!

Very happy to have recieved my hellebore delivery today! Good for upcoming research and my own academic endeavours. Needed the 6th edition of a specific article I cannot find anywhere else so yay!

2 editions of hellebore on a grey blanket. The first is the summoning edition with a pagan woman and staff.

I love researching things at times because what do you mean that a paper is titled Protestants and Fairies another good one the elf-fire of purgatory 🤣

I know I’m a bit late but, can random people stop making claims about kings under carparks. When your back catelog is pseudoarchaeology you aren’t getting far combined with using an C18th ‘map’. At least Hyde 900 was actually fun but wished some would look at the research not make bizarre claims.

Philomena Cunk thought: ‘who was Raphael and why is there a pre period and a post period for him and what made him so special’… /s #cunkon #historyjokes

Tell me you are an academic without telling me, I’ll go first. Spent a lot of birthday money on source and referencing books 🤣🤣

Finally finished it! Was good as an insight and glad I read it.

Personally my fave is Oxford university press 🤣

It’s the one that’s on the first ring the plague village but yes it doesn’t make sense to have an animal enclosure so high up unless it was for ritual purposes such as feasting. It’s challenging enough with a Labrador in tow not some cattle 🤣

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Yes I love walking round the plague village. She’s a very good archaeological companion lol. The chapel site in the copse at the top is one I want to explore more!

Happy #hillfortwednesday this is St Catherine’s Hill last Tuesday which is an Iron Age hill fort in Hampshire. My dog and I went on a lovely walk so I could teach her all about the differences between hill forts.

A view over St Catherine’s Hill, with a fox red Labrador in the foreground. The Labrador is watching the scenery as the views are over many fields. The sky is blue with clouds and the photo has two people walking in the background who are climbing down the steps.

Miles remember context numbers are irrelevant when it comes to labradors 😌- they belong there most certain

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Started working on the Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser today. Fascinating read and interesting to compare against the idea of worthies and anti worthies in the context of Ben Jonson’s masques of difference and Shakespeare.

Don’t worry I didn’t quite lose my entire mind (yet)

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

I was going back looking at the repurposing of Iron Age sites were used in Dorset, during the English Civil War.

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Thank you Miles means a lot, yes Winchester University now knows in depth about the entire thing. 😂 Even managed to fit you in to my English civil war module 😂.

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Takeaways of my UG: If you try hard enough you can mention Miles ( @durotrigesdig.bsky.social ) biannually in different assignments and modules. Talk about what you are passionate about and make sure you won’t shut up about your interests. /hj

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Andddd they have finished their degree. And once again by using Bmouth university archaeology department in my final assignments I have achieved a high 2:1. So thank you Miles once again for basically being an advertiser for your research 😅 @durotrigesdig.bsky.social

Can’t believe I did my first panel conference this week, it was such an amazing experience to be a speaker and get to use my voice to highlight the barriers disabled students face in Higher Education.

Always a great Monday when I can spend the morning going through excavation reports from Corfe Castle and the importance of the castle to the Civil War

Archaeology: where every find that is old enough can be for ritual practice. History: where gossip from the past, becomes more inciteful than comment sections after a YouTube scandal. /s

Just finishing watching blue Jean (2022) really good and eye opening about the implications of section 28 in the 1980s. Highly recommend for the history of LGBTQ+ rights!

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Absolutely a little hidden gem in the landscape really so peaceful and archaeologically fascinating!

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

A little appreciation for my fave place: the earthworks and church at knowlton henge, still grateful for the research completed by bmouth uni. Especially @durotrigesdig.bsky.social good memories of using every reference possible in first year, provided by the arch team at bmouth uni!

RIP Margaret of Anjou, she would have loved Running up that Hill (A Deal with God) by Kate Bush

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Started to read to kill a mockingbird so interesting - will I finish the book? Idk, loved the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath!

Miles did you accidentally get confused and purchase beer from Chernobyl 😂

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

2,800 words written for the Jane Austen Project I’m working on. I need to get this finished by Thursday but my MacBook won’t connect to wifi so time to join Miles in crying in a corner.

020

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

You sure you can’t take compassionate leave over this form of betrayal 😞

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

Martin Papworth is a G not as much as a GOAT as you though hey Miles!

010

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

Miles are you still crying in the corner, maybe your spirit haunts the hypocaust?

100

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

I bet your own department - they should have sent you or nobody at all 😞

010

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

@durotrigesdig.bsky.social is crying in a corner (Miles how do you feel right now?)

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

👀👀👀 Miles you sure about that??

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

Miles x ancient technology centre collab was not what I was expecting used to be my fave place as a kid. #nostalgia

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

Still relevant and still as important as ever!!! (This is what I’m reading this month)

Sorry I’ve been off the earthly realm working on a Jane Austen project (I’m still frantically working on it) and celebrating my 21st with fairy rings and witches seats! Though a cool opportunity archaeology wise coming Monday!

Therapist: “Don’t worry Jem, Miles’ skeleton army can’t hurt you.” Me: ‘then what’s this?!’

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

Miles that’s not what you should be saying 🤣🤣🤣

010

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

Honestly you concern me occasionally… are you alright?!

110

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

Should I be concerned what you are teaching your students Miles and what you are doing in the fields of Dorset 🤣

110

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Did you raise them from the dead through ritual 😅

110

Jem Livia 🏳️‍🌈 @jemojd.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Thanks to @durotrigesdig.bsky.social aka the magnificent Miles I got a high 2:1 on my exam which was on Celtic Britain so thank you for what you do (a Miles appreciation post) 🥰
