Toby with a group of people including Prof Mel Giles
Reflecting on a great working weekend on Ynys Môn/Anglesey with an incredible team of people from #OpNightingale, Amgueddfa Cymru/National Museum, DIO & Manchester Uni
Well done, once again, to the brilliant @richardosgood.bsky.social for getting us all together 👌. Watch this space
Would detailed soil sampling and geochemical analysis help identify new areas of interest ?
