As you know, we will be making an experimental archaeological replica of the Tetney axe/mace head and handle with @UniShefArch @Hugh_Willmott @HistoricEngland
Grand... a road trip to Doorus Point, Galway Bay, on Ireland’s Atlantic coast to collect materials is now the plan!

NEW! Does the decision to close @UniShefArch make financial sense? Not on UEB’s figures.
Read how details unearthed by an FoI request show that keeping Archaeology open makes @SheffieldUni £1.6m better off over the next 5 years. #SaveSheffieldArchaeology

Archaeology is “a really powerful tool for understanding who we are and where we come from”, and this has “a surprising mental health benefit”, says @Chris_Whitwood, organiser of Campaign to Save British Archaeology bit.ly/2WjGa9W

Archaeology has a reputation for being too middle class, white and confined to Russell Group Unis. Providers such as Hull, Worcester (and Sheffield's foundation year pathway), were changing this. These closures are pulling up the drawbridge (again) #Archaeology #Dig4Arch

Another archaeology university department closure @worcester_uni - a worrying trend as more Unis outside the Russell Group close. Narrowing the diversity of choice for HE will ultimately lead to a less diverse workforce. It’s obvious we have a lot of work to do 😞#Dig4Arch

Upon the announcement of my first class qualification in archaeology, I have never been prouder to be a sheffield archaeologist taught by @UniShefArch. Here's to overturning a misinformed decision so there will be many more (1/2)

BREAKING: Staff at @sheffielduni will ballot for industrial action over the decision to close the archaeology department
If management does not cancel the plans it will face disruption in the autumn

Very excited to share my paper which is now published in Archaeometry and is available through open access. This paper presents work carried out for my MSc and PhD and my PhD continues to build on this. I hope you enjoy reading it.@UniShefArch onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

The promised update. Anger, dismay and disbelief at the proposal to close, or dismantle, @UniShefArch has been conveyed to the @sheffielduni UEB by academics in forty-four countries, in addition to those based within other English universities. Map from d-maps.com

Last night, the students involved in the review of @UniShefArch sent an official letter of complaint to the University Research Ethics Committee outlining the ways in which, we believe, the review contravened the ethical standards set by @sheffielduni.

@UniShefArch has received messages of support from academic departments in 35 countries. Many are not archaeology departments. I have made a map to illustrate this @sheffielduni #SaveSheffieldArchaeology

Another brilliant article from thePipeLine highlighting a “structural lack of commitment to transparency and accountability” @sheffielduni, especially amongst the upper management.
This cannot be allowed to continue!

As a student who participated in the review, I can confirm that we were neither told what the meeting was about nor provided with an agenda. When we asked what it was about, we were told it was to help "support the development of the department." (1/2)

From Mary Rose to Richard III, archaeology is a major driver of heritage industry, & UK hosts the top 4 archaeology departments globally.
But we face a triple threat from uni cuts, skills shortage, & planning reform.
Tell the govt that our past matters.
