[Bonetools] WBRG website updates February 2025

Fri Feb 7 09:19:50 CET 2025

Dear WBRG,

Many thanks to everybody who has voted for the Ipswich Project in the Current Archaeology poll. If you haven't voted, there is still time! And I should also point out that the Ipswich Project (which is ongoing) is in the category of Research Project of the Year, and you can also vote for the Must Farm volume as Book of the Year, and it is an incredible book and an incredible site, and well worth a vote. The category of Archaeologist of the Year appears to be Professor of the Year, which seems very wrong to me. Is there anybody that you would wish to nominate for Archaeologist of the Year for next year? It seems to me that it is time that a WBRG member took that honour!

Thanks again,

Ian Riddler
