The wonderful Day of Archaeology was yesterday, 24 July, but the posts keep rolling out on Facebook and Twitter #dayofarch @dayofarch. It’s a fascinating insight into what archaeologists around the world are up to—in the field, in the lab, at an event. As ever, the success of the DoA is down to the hard work of the moderators. Now in its fifth year, this is an incredible database of the diversity of activities, people, projects, studies and outreach.

As last year, and while feeling a little under the weather (and oppressed by the endless rain), I managed to squeeze out a post (two in fact) about catching up on a mini-project and the results of fieldwalking with volunteers, plus analysis of previous collections and museum boxes that attest to 10,000 years of activity in the area.

DoA is open to absolutely everybody involved in archaeology so, if you’ve not submitted a post, have a think about doing it—perhaps you’ve been on a community dig, training project or finds-processing session? There’s still time.
