It’ll happen sometime, and damage is ongoing, I’d imagine in a few decades, rather than imminently.

2021-05-14 07:12:37 +0000 UTCI love these updates on old digs!
2021-04-22 17:18:50 +0000 UTCFrom the other side of the pond...some cool archeological news! (Thanks to Time Team, I recognized their references to digging 'test pits'!) https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/20/us/harriet-tubman-maryland-archeology-trnd/index.html
2021-04-20 23:00:04 +0000 UTCDani's really good at this! Very interesting to see how things have progressed. When you look at the coast there from Pictish to now, the coastal erosion is startling. Having a really good record of what's IN the caves is crucial - they will obviously cease to exist in the future.
