Hello, Mastodon. My research focuses on
- evolution from Romano-British to English society 400-800 CE;
- common rights: esp. landscape evidence for shared property rights & their management; & implications for social relations;
- origins, layout & development of English rural settlements, non-arable resources and field systems c.400-1250;
- resilience in landscape, community & society explored through complex interactions between long-term tradition, medium term processes & short-term events.

A brief note on the nature and context of some camel remains recorded from Roman London — a post by me, with a map of all the archaeological evidence for camels in Roman Europe :) https://www.caitlingreen.org/2017/11/were-there-camels-in-roman-britain.html #Roman #archaeology #camels

Einstein presented "Explanation of the Perihelion Motion of Mercury from the General Theory of Relativity" #OTD in 1915, using his nearly complete theory of general relativity to explain the 43 arc-second-per-century anomalous precession of Mercury.

Is there a way to set the #preferences on #mastodon that result in a completely black backgorund with white writing?
I am currently on #Mastodon instant ticker Type-0 (High contrast) but the background is not dark enough for my taste.
Thank you for your help.
