Well done to all the @uofglasgow.bsky.social archaeology students and staff for all their input today for the #Glencoe and #Achnacon open day. Sound scapes, poems, artefact displays, stories, hands on, and digging. @n-t-s.bsky.social @eddiecstewart.bsky.social @lizzierobertson.bsky.social

Rained off from site at #Achnacon in Glencoe again this afternoon. Everyone was soaked. But some nice finds recovered from sieving the ditch fill behind Structure 3 - clay tobacco pipes and decorated pottery. @n-t-s.bsky.social @uofglasgow.bsky.social @eddiecstewart.bsky.social

Very wet day on site at #Achnacon in Glencoe @n-t-s.bsky.social today but did not deter a group visit from my old chums of the Renfrewshire Local History Forum (RLHF). Great to chat to everyone @uofglasgow.bsky.social @eddiecstewart.bsky.social

Some more nice finds today at #Achnacon including this sherd of post medieval pottery with three holes. Perhaps part of a colander for making cheese? @uofglasgow.bsky.social @n-t-s.bsky.social @eddiecstewart.bsky.social
