Early medieval linear earthwork known as the Giant's Hedge that extends 15km linking estuaries around Looe and Lerryn near Fowey. Looked like hill fort at Kilminorth overlooking the West Looe Valley in Cornwall

Walking the Tresillian River around Saint Clement in Cornwall there is a holy well, the Ignioc Stone with Ogham and Latin scripts, and the Cregou bowl barrow

Great to have the opportunity to keep talking about the methodologies developed in response to the effects of #ClimateChange on #Archaeology & some of the amazing results from this project

This is the story of how, with climate change increasing coastal erosion in Ireland, many historic monuments and heritage sites cannot be saved from falling into the sea.

Today, some of the team are cataloguing artefacts recovered during the CHERISH Project, for National Museum of Ireland. Here we have a Late Roman amphora fragment from Dalkey & a copper nail bent into fish hook from Kilmichael coast guard station

Good evening to visit Dunskey Castle in Galloway looking out over the Irish Sea

Last day in Brittany, looked around the Cote de Granit Rose - Menhir de Saint Uzec christianised with graffiti in 17th century, reverse cupmarks in the Dolmen de Kerguntuil perhaps, and maybe a holed stone at Tregastel

Exploring around Morbihan Bay Neolithic sites today in Brittany. Some massive collapsed menhirs at Lochmariaquer and rock art at Gavrinis cairn. All change since built by the rising sea level - see the circular stone enclosure on Er Lanic now half in the sea

Took longer than I was expecting today to go around the menhirs of Carnac in Brittany. 4km of stone alignments, barrows, cairns and standing stones. Worth walking for full scale

The CHERISH Project is proud to announce our latest published paper on the coastal zone assessment of North County Dublin produced in partnership with Fulbright Scholars Jennifer Jones available at rdcu.be/dlELX

Winde: an amazing #archaeological #site on the Central Coast of #Tanzania with a wonderful #sunset . Elgidius Ichumbaki, Ph.D.⁩ & ⁦Edward Pollard⁩ are doing #fieldwork with ⁦University of Dar es Salaam⁩ students. ⁦Richard Bates⁩ ⁦Neema Munisi⁩

Cleared the bush where stone and pottery was found during Winde area survey of Wami delta and excavation started to reveal this Arabic gravestone. Hope we get a date inscribed as we dig deeper Elgidius Ichumbaki, Ph.D. University of Dar es Salaam Urithi Wetu

Spring tides at the moment so stone ruins can be seen at low tide but the site is eroding at high tide in Winde, Tanzania Elgidius Ichumbaki, Ph.D.

The baobab trees on the Winde survey in Tanzania have bee hives in the cracks. See the sticks in the trunk used to climb up for the #honey Elgidius Ichumbaki, Ph.D. Urithi Wetu University of Dar es Salaam

Erosion of the landscape around Winde in Tanzania Elgidius Ichumbaki, Ph.D. Urithi Wetu University of Dar es Salaam

Joining Elgidius Ichumbaki, Ph.D. Urithi Wetu University of Dar es Salaam in Winde in Tanzania this week to record the eroding heritage. No problems with mosquitoes, centipedes, snakes, crocodiles and hippos so far.
