NEW The archaeological record is incomplete and researchers cannot know what is missing. Does uncertainty empower us to imagine and work towards a better future? @cjfrieman.bsky.social explores the archaeology of possibility in our #AntiquityDebate 1/2 🆓 buff.ly/49BcyGr

Wandlebury (again) for #hillfortswednesday, showing archive material in MAA. The map contains info up to 1955, with 'site' locations. As a multi-authored landscape, there seems to be a slight question mark over Wandlebury's status as a hillfort penned in the map's margins: '7. Wandlebury Henge?'.

1927 OS map with site locations shown (Wandlebury is 7).

Side-notes penned into the margins of the 1927 OS map, showing 'Wandlebury Henge?'.

Wandlebury (again) #HillfortsWednesday - geophysical survey taking place, across the interior this week, including in the field with Clark’s 1950s excavations. And a cheeky photo of an autumnal outer ditch. Why not?!

A misty morning in April 2024 oblique of Wandlebury hillfort, just outside Cambridge. The venue for the University of Cambridge’s training excavation. Just about to carry out a geophysical survey of the interior. Thought it is a good shout for #hillfortswednesday!

Transferring across my latest 🤓 If you enjoyed ‘The Dig’ - you can now discover why the character of Peggy Piggott was *really* invited to excavate the Sutton Hoo ship burial. On women archaeologists of the 1930s: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10… OPEN ACCESS ✅

Cyril Fox’s ‘The Archaeology of the Cambridge Region’ was published 100 years ago, a milestone in landscape archaeology. In a paper published in Antiquity, we compare the evidence available to Fox in 1923 with 30 years of development-led archaeology.
