Very happy to announce our new article is out on Mustatil in Khaybar, Saudi Arabia! This presents the first excavation results of Mustatil outside of AlUla. I spent a lot of time at this site. It’s one of my favourites!! I’ll be making a video on the results soon.

🔔🔔 PUB PART OF KIRKSTONE PASS INN CLOSED WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT! 🔔🔔😢 This iconic & historic inn of Cumbria, the county’s highest, popular with locals and visitors has closed. #lakedistrict #pubs The fab Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery did a great job and I feel for em 💔😢 The landlord had no care I guess for the history and heritage of the place. It’s been mired in controversy since the landlord bought the whole site. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp8e… Sad innit. Once again I’m reminded of the late and great Harry Griffin: “Guard our precious Lake District, be vigilant and prevent exploitation by those who only want to make money.”

The Roman building outline above The Ridgeway on Lowbury Hill. Imagine a huge, flint lined building 2,000 years ago, visible for many miles in most directiions with people inside feasting on delicacies such as oysters – at Colnbrook, South East

Thank you, @GoldsmithsUoL, for honouring Shireen Abu Akleh with a lecture theatre in her name. It was a privilege to be part of this moment. To many, she was a voice. To us, she was the voice of #Palestine. To me, she was a dear cherished friend. Shireen was calm, courageous, and devoted to truth. She gave dignity to every story — and humanity to our people. Her killing was not just a loss. It remains a collective wound. 🎙️ Full speech: youtu.be/NDZG9ySV1hQ?si=rcop…

Please write and ask your MP to attend the UK Curlew Action Plan briefing 🐦 in Committee Room 15 at 5pm, Wed 25th March. Hosted by Chris Hinchliff MP 🙏 I'll be speaking. Supporting Curlews means protecting whole landscapes and the many species that depend on them. #Curlew 💚💚

This year marks 10 years in curlew conservation, starting with a 500 mile walk across Ireland and the UK to help them. Why Curlews in particular? "I liked something about the way Curlew lived in the world, sang to the world, and drifted through the world with a light touch."

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history." RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!
