Welcome to #HiddenLandscapes, the @SWWDTP’s ‘Figures in the Landscape’ Research Cluster Twitter Conference! We have a fascinating morning of research for you from some of our current PhD students who are working in diverse subjects including linguistics, history and archaeology.

@jackpulsla

Presentations by @jackpulsla @KerstinGHope @EPeirsonWebber me and @oldchurchlover are grouped into two sessions. Q&A gives us some space to start the conversation, but this is Twitter, you can catch up any time and ask us your questions about our research into #HiddenLandscapes.

This is the first ever Twitter Conference for some of our students, and like most people we are working from home with varied IT access. Please help us by keeping questions on point, be generous with comments/re-tweets, and patient in the face of IT gremlins! #HiddenLandscapes

@KrysiaTruscoe

We begin with a few words from one of our students who is a landscape archaeologist and works with aerial photographs and Lidar. Check out @KrysiaTruscoe to introduce #HiddenLandscapes!

1/20 Hi! I’m Katy, a p/t PhD student with @SWWDTP @UniRdg_Arch. I’m taking this opportunity to reflect on my extended experience and the amazing people I’ve been working with, who have introduced me to different ways of thinking and doing archaeology. #HiddenLandscapes

2/20 My presentation includes #HiddenLandscapes of my archaeological research, but it’s more a personal reflection than a paper. Really, it’s about the difference between the idealised and real-world landscapes of doing research. I mean, whose project is actually like this? ⬇️

3/20 I’m researching the past use of #sarsen stone. You know: those really tall stones at Stonehenge and the lintels that go across the top. I’m interested in how people have quarried and worked the material for 5000 years and people’s relationship with it. #HiddenLandscapes

Morning everyone! I’m Katy and I’m going to tweet about #archaeology, #geology and #landscape. But mostly, about #sarsen stone in the county of Wiltshire, UK. Thank you to @lornarichardson and @James__Dixon for organising #PATC5 and for accepting this paper 0/16

During CV-19 lockdown and as long as distancing measures apply, my public archaeology landscape walks in #SarsenCountry are suspended. Groups trips for local/regional societies to visit places in Wiltshire (UK) where sarsen stones can be seen are off-limits #PATC5 #DailySarsen 1/

Sarsens are the large grey boulders making the familiar shapes of Stonehenge, and Avebury’s great circles. They’re in medieval church walls. They pave our streets and protect grass verges. Sites in southern England from Dorset to Norfolk make #SarsenCountry #PATC5 #DailySarsen 2/

OK so I've now read "History of Violence" in the current New Scientist (No 3223, 30 March 2019). Here's my initial response to one specific component of the article, the artwork by Simon Pemberton.
