Great to meet such a diverse and lively group of archaeologists, ecologists, farmers, geographers etc at our 'Archaeology in Wilding' workshop earlier this month. Thank you @kneppwilding.bsky.social for the beautiful venue, Guerilla Archaeology and all others who contributed! #WildWednesdays

Last week we were on the road again at the International Working Group for Palaeoethnobotany, Groningen. Topics ranged from experimental pit storage, prehistoric food crusts, community-designed Roman gardens & wild plant fibres & recipes-looking forward to IWGP Berlin 2028! #WildWednesdays

The project team have been out and about quite a bit lately, but here's our most professional looking photo of Lou assessing stored monolith samples from the 1980s Fenland Survey project! Fingers crossed they deliver the goods! #WildWednesdays #Archaeology #HardCoreLife

What can be happier than zooarchaeologists among red deer?? Adrienne shared this great photo from their ‘road trip’ to collect reference material at @kneppwilding.bsky.social -including Tamworth pig remains (a better match for archaeological pig than our modern breeds) #WildWednesdays #Archaeology

The fish bones found in this Later Bronze/Iron Age burial from Stanground, Peterborough came from a pike of estimated 1m length, but are they trash or treasure? A fish of this considerable size may well have been considered a worthy funerary offering (ref: Boismier 2021) #WildWednesdays #Archaeology

Resident geoarchaeologist Dave Kay has been out in the sunshine at @kneppwilding.bsky.social looking at the effects of rewilding on soil structure - accompanied by the usually pretty elusive ponies! #WildWednesdays

How do we imagine human’s place in nature in prehistory? Most reconstructions center on settlements, with nature fading into the backdrop, a hazy periphery. This image of Grim’s Bank by Peter Lorimer takes a different approach, as a woman in the countryside looks on from outside #WildWednesdays

Project palynologist Lou has been out at Lye Valley Fen, hearing about the challenges faced in rescuing alkaline fen and its underlying peat when surrounded by urban conurbation - as outlined by expert ecologist and palynologist, Judy Webb #WildWednesdays #Archaeoecology

A view facing south down the Lye Valley Fen walkway in Oxford. The raised walkway bisects two areas of sloping valley fen with short green winter vegetation on its surface. Two people stand on the walkway facing the camera.

Antler rake/pick from Early Bronze Age pit at Moulsford, excavated by TVAS. Found alongside other remains including aurochs, amphibian & cattle. Molluscs suggest the pit was dug shortly after surrounding woodland was cleared. Perhaps returning to the earth some of what had been taken?#WildWednesdays

Excavated in 1960, this Early Bronze Age barrow burial at Amesbury contained a number of wood, antler and bronze implements including an oak 'club' or beater. These were interpreted as the toolkit of a leather worker, but perhaps other interpretations are possible? #WildWednesdays #Archaeology

A beautiful shot of (?Ceratodon purpureus) moss at Fountains Abbey by @roseferraby. Heathland mosses can often be identified in prehistoric samples, such as those from this Early Bronze Age turf-built burial mound at Pen-y-Fan, at the highest point of the Brecon Beacons. #WildWednesdays #Archaeology

Some yuletide (archaeo)botany to send you on your way: Iron Age mistletoe fragments from Wardy Hill Ringwork, Ely & a recent article on the UK's big mistletoe 'comeback' (possibly thanks to warmer winters & the Eurasian blackcap!) shorturl.at/vEEUC #WildWednesdays #Archaeobotany #Archaeology
