David Starley is working in Lister Park today. He has painted a view of the 1904 Bradford Exhibition and is now painting the 2025 view over the top. He will then 'excavate' through to reveal/blend the two. Art imitating archaeology @bradarch.bsky.social @uniofbradford.bsky.social @bradford2025.co.uk

It’s the last day in Doggerland for the @bradarch.bsky.social @subnordica.bsky.social , @vliz.be teams and the Simon Stevin. It’s been a very succesful trip already - plenty of lithics, cores and survey data.

Enjoyable day on the Japanese coast - the views here are spectacular - spot the snow on the mountains 👍😀

Greetings from Japan 👍 (with Mt. Fuji visible through the clouds). It will be great to meet up again with all our friends and colleagues there 🙂

How do natural hazards (palaeofloods, lahars, ...) influence preservation ?

Looking for something to start your New Year on a bright note ? - here is some fantastic work by the @submergedlands.bsky.social team 👍

No wonder we moved to farming - try peeling a handful of hazelnuts for Xmas nosh - and then consider 6000 years of #Mesolithic meals! #Archaeology #MerryXmas

At this years @tag45.bsky.social @vincegaffney.bsky.social and Robyn Pelling both contributed to the session on ‘Re-Peopling Submerged Prehistory’.

Both showcasing the world leading research being conducted at the Submerged Landscapes Centre in Bradford.

Just processing data from this year's work in Croatia is bringing back lots of happy memories - and reminding me the UK is really cold and wet today ! - still looking forward to next year's work in the Adriatic, it's going to be exciting 😃

Our research features in the University of Bradford annual research report 2023/2024.

You can download the full report here: bradford.ac.uk/research/

Malta's Archaeology Museum in Valletta is a little Gem - it's Neolithic display in such a historic building is quite fantastic 😃

Greetings from Valletta 🙂

A Parametric echo sounder in its box

Bit excited as Christmas has come early at the @submergedlands.bsky.social centre - in the form of a beautiful new super lightweight parametric echo sounder courtesy of www.innomar.com - we have some amazing plans to get this into action next year ! 😃

Thanks for making it easy 😀

We’re looking for a PhD student! Fully funded, too. Come work with me and Simon Fitch @sef049.bsky.social on reconstructing the palaeolandscapes of the Gulf of Mexico!

PhD studentship Alert! We have a fully funded International position available at the centre studying with me and Jess @jwcookhale.bsky.social looking at Submerged Sites in the Gulf of México - good luck to all the applicants 👍😀

A winter scene

Well that was unexpected - we were supposed to be too far south for snow (!). Guess it's a work from home day today !

That's a great idea Matt 👍😀

Flint is doing amazing work here. Send #archaeology starter packs his way!

It's great that the Centre on Blue Sky too 👍

Just completed the great migration over, and its great to see you all.

Will be posting on submerged archaeology and specifically the UKRI LOTE project - expect to see lots of submerged landscape archaeology, geophysics and other fun stuff over the next year !
