Reading Matters

For many years, we created newsletters that were emailed to subscribers and were also posted on Our Newsletters website page, fifty-three in all.

Welcome to Patterns of the Past

Welcome to our blog, ‘Patterns of the Past’. We are historians and archaeologists, and on this blog you can read short features about all sorts of fascinating topics.

You can choose what to read by going to ARCHIVES or CATEGORIES on the right. Feel free to share with other people.
