It will be published in due course, so stay tuned for more context info 👍🏻. Also there's a series of talks, including at the @antiquaries.bsky.social in November. The context was also covered at the recent #ironagedialogues conf. I can put you in touch with Sophie if you have particular questions 👍🏻

Great time at #IronAgeDialogues, at the Julian Hodge no less, scene of a few late night essay writing sessions! Had to miss Fri's hillfortfest but glad to catch excellent talks by my @uhiarchaeology.bsky.social colleagues Martin Carruthers and @archaeoholz.bsky.social. Thankyou to all organisers!!

With thanks to @archaedelle.bsky.social for the piccy.

I call this 'Behold the gold!!' 🤣

It was sooooooooo lovely to catch up with so many folks at #IronAgeDialogues - old friends, new friends and some rather wonderful new stuff from some really special places.

Let's not leave it 20 years this time, eh????

I skivved off a couple of sessions of #ironagedialogues yesterday to find this in Bute Park. I didn't realise there were two (should have completed my desk-based properly before ground-truthing...)

Coming back to earth after a brilliant few days at #ironagedialogues. I’ve learnt so much, caught up with old friends and met new. Perfect. Thanks everyone!

Just have to say that Matt Hitchcock does the most amazing illustrations of talks! Look at these beauties 🤍🩶🖤

As we close the conference (until next time!), we’ll leave you with the transcendental hauntingly moving sound of the Iron Age 🐗

And thank you to all the brilliant speakers - you put on the most impressive and fabulously engaging showcase of the value and importance of continuing researching the weird and wonderful world of Iron Age Britain! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Sad not to have been in attendance for #IronAgeDialogues this week. Line up, programme & feedback looked fantastic.

But grateful to those sharing updates using the hash-tag, meaning the rest of us could occasionally peek in from afar. (Especially @emmatollefsen.bsky.social - sterling effort! 🙏)

A massive thank you and standing ovation to the wonderful organisers of #IronAgeDialogues - for not only putting on a spectacular 3 day conference (!), but most importantly, for gathering us all together to share our diverse and fantastic research on and love for Iron Age Britain! 🎆
