Latest backard find: a 12-inch sharp metal object with traces of black and white paint, probably pushed up by tree roots. (Different spot than last year's dress buckle find.) #backyardarchaeology #farmequipment #murderweapon #freddykreuger #ancientaliens

Made a Mesolithic digging stick (charred the end off a bit of Scots pine that had come down in a storm). Found it to be much easier on my back than a spade. Found the odd tattie. I’m doing a wee Mesolithic experiment. More to follow. #backyardarchaeology #archaeology #experimentalarchaeology
