The volunteers from @LFieldworkers @RutlandLHRS contributed 00s of hours and are recognised in the article, consider tagging them if reposting it would really help membership & de-homogenize

Have you spotted that the #RutlandVillaProject features in the latest edition of @archaeologyUK’s British Archaeology magazine? While the spectacular mosaic has always made the headlines, this article brings the successful partnerships behind this project to the fore. 🧵

As I was inundated (🤔) with a request, here is Melandra #Roman #Fort, Gamesley, Glossop, Derbyshire. The bathhouse had already slipped down the slope. There was a Mansio (Hotel-ish) and Vicus (Civilian settlement) adjacent. #LiDAR @Rubonist
