Bossed stones are cut masonry blocks are left raised on the external side. Various theories have been put forward why this is seen in castle walls and fortifications. It is likely that it was to disperse the energy of projectiles, like spaced armour on modern tanks. #Archaeology

Above 2500m, early signs of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) include headache, nausea, insomnia, appetite loss. If apathy, vertigo, vomiting, staggering, and breathlessness ensue immediate accompanied descent is required or the consequences may be fatal. #Archaeology #mountain

Cuts and interfaces between deposits are weaknesses in the matrix exploited by penetrating water, flora and fauna. Eventually creating a zone of slipped and blurred stratigraphy between deposits, which can only be removed at the risk of overcleaning. #Archaeology #Roman #medieval

On heavily used wooden wagonways the bye way (empty, uphill) rails lasted 3 years and the main way rails barely a year. Double rails were used so they could be replaced without disturbing the sleepers. #archaeology #industrial #Railways #CoalTwitter
