We're back!
After a few years away, NEBARSS will return, to the University of Bradford on 11th and 12th April 2025.
If you're a PhD or Early Career Researcher concerned with the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age of Britain, Ireland or continental Europe, keep an eye on this space.

Wow, talk about full circle...
11 years ago, as an undergrad at Worcester, I was one of a handful of @nationaltrust volunteers embarking on a pilot scheme for Heritage and Archaeology Rangers at Croome.
Now I'm helping to roll out the scheme & manage teams in the South West! 😍

Visions of grumpy Neolithic farmers in Britain, driven by their feelings of guilt and anxiety to build more elaborate monuments, never quite managing to satisfy their internal critic, haunted by the knowledge that they could build something even bigger.

Early-middle Bronze Age double
‘echinoid burial’ from Dunstable Downs was a of a girl and her paternal aunts, while a very similar burial from Altwies in Luxembourg was mother-son, interesting broader discussion too!

Really important news, this means the records for archaeological sites used in UK planning decisions are now protected by law. Let's hope this will improve funding and support for the professionals who maintain and interpret them as well as resources to enhance them.
HOT OFF THE PRESS – The Levelling-Up and Regeneration Bill has become an Act, giving Historic Environment Records (HERs) statutory protection in law: bills.parliament.uk/bills/31…! Find out more about @WestBerkshire Council's HER, which we maintain, here: westberks.gov.uk/her. 😀

We're very excited to have this new technology, the first in the UK and outside of healthcare. It'll enable us to perform non-invasive investigations on archaeological & forensic materials. #Archaeology #forensics @ProfAndyWilson @3dSparrow @robjanaway @osteo_jo @ShirleyCurtisS1
Ultra-high definition CT scanner installed at @BradArcForensic: the cutting-edge technology means archaeological & forensic scientists can scan the most fragile human remains and delicate artefacts to see what’s hidden inside, without causing any damage. bit.ly/3UYLdVW

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS THREAD.
University bosses are rattled. Across the UK they are threatening UCU members with unfair and immoral pay deductions if they take part in action short of striking. This thread exposes every single one of them
