#WildWednesday Farming was central to wildlife in later prehistory and is vital to nature recovery now. 'Rewilding' Later Prehistory & Rose Ferraby had a fantastic weekend CarbonCallingFarm learning from regen farming experts & farmers serious about nature recovery, farming & lively debate!

#WildWednesdays It genuinely is exciting reading through @AEAOxford abstract submissions! Fab connections being made between environmental archaeology and contemporary matters from farming to artisan practices. Keep the abstracts flowing!

More open access publication! We have been eagerly waiting to get stuck into this (albeit rather too much cattle for our tastes but there's always some wildlife to be found!) #WildWednesdays #openscience

'New OA report for the Forestry Commission offers guidance for tree planting and archaeology' #WildWednesdays #Archaeology #NatureRecovery

Many fine prehistoric objects were crafted from antler, including these ‘cheek-pieces’ interpreted as horse gear. These Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age egs were recovered from excavations >250km & 130yrs apart at Eye Quarry (Cambs, CAU) & Heathery Burn Cave (Durham)#WildWednesdays

Admiring the extensive reference collection at Sheffield Zooarchaeology Lab - they run regular short courses open to all #WildWednesdays #Archaeology sheffield.ac.uk/archaeology/sh…

Great timelapse video of the team from Oxford School of Archaeology and Oxford Archaeology busy coring up at Hepple Wilds (Northumberland) for 'Stories of Landscape Change'. Thanks to Hepple Estate for letting us put holes in things! #WildWednesdays

A wide range of plant and animal remains are preserved in Bronze & Iron Age waterholes. Sometimes ladders used by humans to access them survive too-as seen in this example from recently (open access) published excavations at Slade End Farm #WildWednesdays bit.ly/4ekajJl

This striking Iron Age bone comb was made from a horse metapodial bone, recovered during excavations by Wessex Archaeology at Harwell, Oxfordshire. The seemingly human face that looks back at us is a highly unusual form of decoration for this object type & period! #WildWednesdays

Archive find of the week is this wolf and dog tooth necklace found at the foot of an Early Bronze Age burial in a barrow at South Newton, excavated in the 19th century. Photograph from the Wiltshire Museum archives #WildWednesdays #Archaeology shorturl.at/3wASS
