Note: Despite the title of the service, a desk-based assessment requires a site visit and also visits to historic document archives local to the site being assessed. As such we do not undertake DBAs outside of the north of England and Scottish Borders, as the client would be better served financially to use a company local to the development.

Setting Vindomora Solutions up as a publisher is something I've been discussing for several years now... and now, its a reality! Funded by Urban Design and Conservation, Newcastle City Council, I'm pleased to announce that Volume 1 of The Ebenezer Project, written by Peter Ryder will launch on the 9th December. The boxes in the pic are full of printed copies ready for the launch event, then copies should be available for all to purchase online. More info nearer the time! ... See MoreSee Less

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my good friend and colleague Mick Coates who passed away suddenly earlier this weekend. Mick will be massively missed by myself and everyone who knew him: he's been a well known and much loved figure with the North East archaeological community for the last 30 years. My thoughts are with his family at this dark time. ... See MoreSee Less

Sorry to hear this news r.i.p mick thinking of the family x

I wondered if the images taken during the Level 2 recording of Whitlow III bastle at Epiacum could generate a 3D model (accompanied by Doonan Architects' drone images).
What do you think? The internal south fireplace needs a little work but not too bad as a by-product...
Whitlow III Bastle remanant - 3D model by Tony Liddell - Sketchfab
3D model of Whitlow III bastle remnant, near Epiacum Roman Fort, Alston, Northumberland. The model still needs a little work on the internal south wall fireplace etc, but the model was generated essentially as a by-product from images taken from a Level 2 building recording project, so I’m qui...

A little innovation in archaeological survey. The clip below shows John working his way around the Moasure One, a motion-reliant measuring tool that produces 3D line drawings in real time with on-screen measurements that can be immediately exported as an image, PDF or to CAD.
We've recently also started using the unit for updating building floorplans - we often get provided with such plans for undertaking historic building recording projects, but they're often out of date. The Moasure One provides a very quick and accurate alternative to sometimes the laborious task of updating those plans on site.

Hi Tony - can you add point locations, as a layer? to get 3D location of finds within site boundary?
Over the Summer we had some interesting projects to undertake, which included six walkover surveys in Northumberland combining to well over 1000 hectares. Some of the sites we inspected were stunning examples, one of which was the Kettley Rock Art Shelter, Scheduled Ancient Monument List entry 1417677. The rock art panel likely dates to the Late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, and was originally discovered in the late 20th century. Unlike a lot of the panels we inspected in the local area that were degrading badly, the Kettley panel was shielded by the overhang of the 'shelter', thus preserving the designs to a much greater degree. Below you can see a selection of the photos from the survey, including John undertaking part of the recording process.

I visited some of these cup and ring marked stones when walking in Northumberland some 30,+ years ago. Glad to see they are being fully recorded now
We've realised that we've been neglecting our main website, so starting this week can continuing over the next couple of weeks we'll be giving it an overhaul.
So, apologies in advance is you're visiting the site and it doesn't look quite right at the time!
We're integrating our social media as our blogs/updates section, as quite frankly Tony has been pretty rubbish at keeping the blogs updated: so now our social media (which has been updated on a fairly regular basis) will act in that stead.
The pages will also be tweaked for better/clearer access via mobile browsers.
Thanks for your patience!

Its amazing what can be found in modern clearance cairns (piles of stone cleared from the local area by farmers/landowners). In this one was this lovely likely Neolithic/Bronze Age cup-marked stone (unrecorded in the area), as well as the remnant of a stone marked as `standing stone` in the Historic Environment Record...

The Long Stone on Longstone Hill, Northumberland. The 1866 mapping shows the stone, but it does not appear in the Northumberland County Council Historic Environment Record for the area. The stone lies north of a Bronze Age funerary cairn field (Scheduled).
