See, a proper book, (little book, but a proper one) with an ISBN number and everything. Cover reveal and ordering details coming soon-ish. And yes, there is an-anti piracy, anti LLM curse embedded in the text. It is Hookland – you'd expect nothing less.

Here's a lovely review of The Tattooed Hills by @public-history.bsky.social in British Archaeology, with @peteralanross.bsky.social and @stonelands.bsky.social for excellent company. What would call us? (Polite answers only). The New Antiquarians?
The summer solstice is nearly upon us - what better time to hear writer and megalith enthusiast Fiona Robertson talk about her acclaimed memoir Stone Lands?

All these STONE LANDS events still to come this summer! I'm looking forward to talking about these incredible survivals from prehistory, exploring what we can tell about the preoccupations of the people who built them and what they mean to us today. Hope you can join and share your thoughts too!
Dear ancient sites enthusiasts of the North East, I'll be at Darlington Library at the @crossingthetees.bsky.social festival on Tuesday 16th June, talking about my favourite prehistoric places across the UK. Tea + coffee provided or bring a tipple of your choice! www.ticketsource.com/booking/sele...

This is my watercolour of Nether Largie South Cairn in magical Kilmartin Glen. Constructed around 5000 years ago to contain multiple burials, it was later enlarged to to accommodate two secondary cists.
The original artwork is now available on my Etsy shop here: shorturl.at/HDzSI

The Long Neolithic often appears as a series of kingdoms. Hundreds of menhir monarchs ruling their fields, territories of moor and downs. No passport is needed to enter their realms, though an attitude of respect and reverence is often advisable. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday
Today's MRI scan and other malarkey made much more bearable by waking up to @edkarshner.bsky.social's foreword to the first Hookland Fragments volume. Hookland as an invitation to be a character in your own ghost story indeed. Thank you Ed.
