When you're emailing people and you sound like one of the absolute worst kind of Internet crackpots!! Oh Harry Price, the stuff you get me in to!! As the person who I spoke to today said - "he'd be loving this, wouldn't he?" He would indeed... 🤣🤣🤣

I have *no idea* how it got *there*... 🐺 #Bruce #CatWhoIsNotMyCat

The fabulous Boudicca Brewery! Yum!

More distracting things... 🌨

11 months at sea in a ship that seems to have multiple faults... now it's in dock for lengthy repairs & the crew are apparently not being granted shore leave. That's going to be one happy ship. Not... www.navytimes.com/news/your-na...

That thing when you discover there's such a thing as Mosaic Toast and then... #Archaeology 🏺

Post of the day! 😂

What @marcmorris.bsky.social said. (And thanks to him for mentioning that I brought the point up - very civil indeed. 👍) #Hastings960

Really disappointed to see the Leverhulme going along with this sensationalist cods wallop. Scholarship is not this hyperbolic nonsense - and from a Professor quite happy to sell archaeological artefacts at that... Leverhulme, you should be embarrassed. #Archaeology 🏺 #History

This is crass. On the back of flogging Iron Age coins, this new 'publication by press release' claims a level of certainty never seen in true scholarship. @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social & Prof Licence should be ashamed. #Archaeology 🏺 #History #1066

I also have a (British) museum joke but it'll cost you £124,456,465 for the image rights! 😉

@tessmachling.bsky.social , can't think why you just came to mind... ;)

For those who weren't around, or have forgotten, the terrible events of Sept 2002 onwards. Weapons of Mass Destruction (that could hit Cyprus) were claimed & when UK populace still wouldn't bite, then came claims of rapid, 45 minute, deployment times. We ended up at war... It was all lies.

It would appear that the arrival of The Great & Ancient Bit of Sewing in the UK is going to see a whole new raft of historical/archaeological nonsense launched upon the world... But what to call it? Tapestry Fever? Bayeux Bollux? #Archaeology #History #FakeNews

Ahhhhhhhh a dodgy book to sell? That explains it. Wonder if that's what he spent the money he raised from flogging Iron Age coins on? Blurgh. BBC News - Victorians got Battle of Hastings wrong, expert says www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Quelle surprise, eh? No detail, no precise timings, nothing but 'the US told us this has happened'. A useful pretext to drag us deeper into an illegal war. WMDs all over again. Blurgh.

This Diego Garcia thing's a bit convenient, isn't it?

We came, we saw, we counted poo...and some of us nearly fell in the river! Didn't see the the little critters, but happy to report there's plenty of latrines, feeding stations, lawns and burrows in the Ver. ❤️ What a gorgeous day for it too! ☀️ #StAlbans

Exciting day ahead trying to find and record signs of these little critters, with some expert guides. So excited! 🤩

I've donated, to help keep this beautiful object in public hands for us to see. Might you? Every little helps ❤️

Keep this beautiful object out of the hands of private investors & available for all to study & admire. Surely even small donations can help. Donation link in Dr. Tess' post below! A gorgeous, elegant form from the past. #archaeology #goldsmithing #metalsmithing #silversmithing #handmadejewelry

Catching up on @profaliceroberts.bsky.social and the Roman Empire by train. Bruce thinks it's great too! 😂 #Archaeology 🏺

Farking hell... Trump just made a joke about Pearl Harbour while sat next to the Japanese prime minister..... 😲

One to watch. Huge fire damaged bunks etc, clogged toilets & crew of 4000 who've been away from home *far* longer than they should have been... They ain't going to be happy bunnies & unhappy military makes for difficult times for those who sent them there... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Road? What Road!? Like HS2 this was just another enterprising publicly funded series of archaeological excavations. Don’t know where you’ve gotten ‘a road’ from.

I started working for the Prehistoric Society in 1995 - early iterations of tunnel plans were cancelled then. Since then, they have been reworked and abandoned every few years since. It will be back. It always bloody is... 😂 #Archaeology 🏺 www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/stone...

This is fabulous! I lived in #London for years and now commute in and out regularly. The change is really noticeable, and especially important for all those who live in the city...especially the littlies! ❤️

The first of many papers about Melsonby, I'm sure. #Archaeology 🏺 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Yayyyyy!!! Alban and Boudica are back. Fingers crossed the have an easier year, this year! ❤️🦅 www.stalbanscathedral.org/peregrine-li... #StAlbans #Birds

When even the BBC is getting snippy about Trump you can feel the tide turning...

Gorgeous Bronze Age 'dress fastener' needs our help so that it can be bought by Potteries Museum in Stoke. If we can't, it will be handed back to finder/landowner & likely sold at auction... 😭 Donate here: www.justgiving.com/charity/pmag... www.stokemuseums.org.uk/pmag/the-ell... #Archaeology 🏺

"Criticism of the government is illegal in the UAE. The government exercises strict control over the flow of information in the country." What with that and the paid influencers etc, is it any wonder these countries get away with appalling human rights??? Urrgghhh. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And having to run around carrying out valuations, seeking grants and funding etc etc etc for "Treasure" really doesn't help... #Archaeology 🏺

Hanging out with Grayson Perry (and @kayth.bsky.social and @drsadiewatson.bsky.social) in London. Hilarious lecture on: ‘Why I hate Classical Civilization’. Perfect!! 😂😂😂

In a week of heritage being sold to anonymous collectors, it's great to see anonymous donors helping save an important archaeological artefact 👇👇

Wooohooo!!! 260 of you, in fivers, tenners and more have raised £10,000!! Well done everyone! 👏 I'm sure there will be stretch funding, but this is brilliant news, it really is. #Archaeology p🏺

So close!! Can we get it across the line and into the safety of Leicester Museums Service, where it can be researched, studied... and looked after in perpetuity! #Archaeology 🏺 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-save-...

No idea what's going on with these figures & have run out of energy to even try to work it out. I want away from the #detecting world: it's grasping, misogynistic & unpleasant, so this is the final blog from me about this. Thanks all :) #Archaeology #Treasure bigbookoftorcs.com/2026/03/10/p...

When you send an email to some folks in Leeds that begins, "I know what I'm about to write is going to sound crazy, but I'm really hoping you might be able to help me..." ... you know you're back in Harry Price Land. 😂 #Archaeology 🏺 #HarryPrice

Assuming all the flag shaggers constantly bemoaning the 'loss of our culture' will be on this right away. Any minute know...

At least this records that folks were appalled by the sale... #Archaeology #Treasurw #Detecting 🏺 metro.co.uk/2026/03/06/s...

Have inadvertently spent the afternoon researching Rolls-Royce cars... Harry is back! 😂 ... and if he's done what I think he's done then, oh my, have I got a tale to tell!!! 😲😲😲

"My first thought when I found out its origin was that I would like to return it to an institute where it could be studied by all...My grandfather would be proud to know, as I am, that the coin is coming back to Leeds." Lovely. ❤️ #Archaeology #Treasure #Detecting 🏺 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A rather odd sibling for the Newark torc and the Netherurd terminal: Torc H7 from Snettisham. #Archaeology #Torcs #Gold bigbookoftorcs.com/2026/03/09/s...

So this #InternationalWomensDay do we get to replace the International Men? Please??? 😔 #IWD

Yesterday Trump had lunch with Farage. Today Trump takes another pop at Starmer... Coincidence?? ... and BTW why aren't we talking treason for Farage, Tice etc??i

Utterly perfect! ❤️ youtube.com/shorts/0hIgT...

Some fabulous things here - the gorgeous Torrs pony cap, massive arm rings... and the brooch from Auldearn (torc pic included!!). #Archaeology 🏺 BBC News - Castle Douglas horned pony cap crosses Atlantic for exhibition - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How the actual f*ck is this 'defensive'??? We should not be allowing this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We’ve raised the alarm about how the new rise of Christian Nationalism, imported from the US, threatens the progress that generations of women fought so hard to secure. By seeking to impose religious dogma on public law, these movements endanger women’s freedoms. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
