Hello I'm Alun Salt, one of the archaeoastronomers associated with the University of Leicester. This is my personal website and blog. You can see what I've been posting recently by looking further down the page.
Alternatively you can follow what I'm doing around the web by checking my Friendfeed account. This follows the various accounts I have at places like Flickr, where I post Creative Commons licenced photos I've taken while in the field. There's also delicious, which I use for storing links, and Google Reader which I use for finding them.
You can find the full feed at http://friendfeed.com/alun.
