Gorgeous day on Dartmoor today, introducing our first year students to stone rows, cairns, cists, stone circles, hut circles, settlements, and reaves. Thanks to National Park archaeologist Lee Bray for sharing his expertise with them!

A large group of students standing in a sunny grass area, with a distinct rocky hill (Sharp Tor) in the middle distance beyond

A smaller group of students surround Lee who is talking to them. They are standing close to a tall standing stone, at Merrivale

Students in the distance are walking in small groups. This is Merrivale Bronze Age settlement. Three rocky tors are visible in the distance, with the valley in sunshine.

I'm so lucy to live near this masterpiece of Victorian engineering. I pass under it regularly, but rarely go over it! This article suggests it is in very good hands: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

It's from this volume - perhaps I should use real examples in future!

That's the next stage - students have to identify which are cuts/fills/structures themselves.

Oh good point! I'll have to have words with the author 😂 And use it as a discussion point if we get that far!

Teaching stratigraphy today, getting the first years to build Harris matrices. Can you do a matrix for this example?

A lovely evening with all our prize and award winners, topped off by a fabulous lecture by Matt Hitchcock. Congratulations to all! 👏 #Archaeology 🏺 #Prehistory

Ah that's tough. I'm sure it's the right thing to step back rather than try to perform a role badly. Perhaps you can return in future.

Dr Susan Greaney @suegreaney.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Thanks Rachel. It's such a vital role for academia, but as you say, completely undervalued by HE.

Dr Susan Greaney @suegreaney.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Me too! I want to hear about how your research is going! NSG in Nov?

Dr Susan Greaney @suegreaney.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Still, lovely to attend the annual Sara Champion lecture to hear Matt Hancock draw (in both senses) conclusions about Bronze and Iron Age metalwork (love those sword stamps!) and also say hi to @mattpope.bsky.social @reblambert.bsky.social @boothicus.bsky.social @archaedelle.bsky.social and others!

Dr Susan Greaney @suegreaney.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Yep. It's impossible for so few to do so much.

Dr Susan Greaney @suegreaney.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

So - if anyone would like to fill my boots & work with a dream team as co-editor of the @prehistoricsociety.bsky.social journal, I'd be very happy to chat and/or pass your name on!

Dr Susan Greaney @suegreaney.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Today I had to step back from doing something I enjoy. That serves the sector that I work in, and is focused on my interests and nerdy joy of editing. But realistically my workload is ever-increasing, I'm letting people down and not doing any of my own research.

The ladder is now more of a staircase, and if all was installed as planned, there is a virtual tour at the top for those unable to descend.

Dr Susan Greaney @suegreaney.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

That's good to hear! One of the aims of the project was to get people out into the wider landscape 😊

Dr Susan Greaney @suegreaney.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Ooh. Keep meaning to go, seeing as I was heavily involved in the early stages of this project, including story-boarding!

Mea culpa. I should have checked the source of this map, like any responsible academic, before sharing. It seems to have a somewhat shady source, so please don't rely on it!

Dr Susan Greaney @suegreaney.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

You've prompted me to look up the source of this map, and it's somewhat shady - perhaps not a reliable distribution.

Do you use soil micromorphology and/or OSL? We know demand for both techniques is high, while UK capacity is limited, leading to long turnaround times. We are looking to expand these services at Durham and would value your input on what would be useful for you: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/LJcgUnyH5t

Oh that's an excellent title. You should start to write the poems. I write them now and again, nearly got enough for a small and very slim volume. Not sure if anyone would want to read them mind!
