A mere 8 years ago we removed cars from Central Park. Never listen to anyone that claims you can't remove cars. Ever.

There's several 'phases' of detection, based on health of turves, and some can't be more than a week old given the weather

Really annoyed right now. So many people do the right thing, but not the theiving criminals who metal detected this Scheduled Monument on the Esk. They not only illegally detected, they couldnt even be arsed to replace the turves. Which I have now...but who knows what evidence they've taken.

There was a shout for find of the day at 9:21am this morning and it did indeed turn out to be the find of the day - found by our University of Aberdeen Certificate student Andy! What a beauty of a bone pin from the Pictish fort at Burghead! #historicenvironmentscotland @uoa-archaeology.bsky.social

For #TrimontiumTuesday we have this well preserved #amphora handle found at the fort site. Amphorae were used to carry food & drink in bulk across the #Roman Empire. This particular example came from southern Spain & would have carried olive oil.
