@littleconkers.bsky.social I got your amazing amphora kit as a birthday present - I love it so much! #sherdnerds #RomanPottery #amphora #crochet

A hoard of over 1900 #Roman silver coins found at Falkirk (Scotland); equivalent to 10+ years pay for an ordinary soldier. The coins range in date from 83BC to AD230, & may have been part of a bribe paid by Rome to a chieftain north of the frontier to secure peace for a while 🏺AncientBlueSky

@rocklovejewelry.bsky.social @blizzardent.bsky.social I’m in love with my #DiabloIV Lilith earrings - paired them with gothic windows ❤️

It is with crushing sadness that I share the news that Dr Kay Hartley, our mortarium extraordinaire, died last week at the age of 94. I visited her the week before she passed, and I will forever cherish the memory of that visit. May she rest in peace and her legacy be continued.

Brexit hasn't been betrayed. The British people have not been betrayed. The betrayal was Brexit. Once that is the established narrative, we can all go forward together.

A wee Samian spindle whorl from Ambleside Roman Fort for #FindsFriday I love objects made from recycled bits of pottery 🤩 Such wonderful examples of reuse and the many lives an artefact can have! 📷 my own

'Bröther, may I have some archaeology research?' Yes, this picture really does feature in one of our publications! 19th-century British farmers used paintings of extraordinarily large farm animals to display their skills as breeders, acting as status symbols 🏺

A cheeky little piece of late Iron Age Black Burnished Ware pottery Slightly damaged Photographed in July 2024 at the moment of retrieval, a mere 2,000 years after it was lost Will we find anything similar this year on #Durotriges25? Let's hope so #Archaeology #prehistoric #Dorset #FindsFriday

This once-elegant copper-alloy mount, incised, moulded and pierced with tiny holes, came from a Romano-British pit in the Cotswolds. It was probably attached to a circular object, perhaps made of wood or leather. What could it have been? #FindsFriday #archaeology #RomanBritain

London once had a Roman fort and its remains can be seen underground in a car park. It was built around AD 110 and the rebuilt fort could house 5,000 soldiers in 5 hectares. It is similar to the forts at the Hadrian's Wall, built at the same time. #RomanFortThursday

This is a brilliant listen. Jacqueline McKinley of Wessex Archaeology on today’s episode of The Life Scientific. She explains things beautifully, in an all-too a rare piece of public exposure for the importance of work in the commercial archaeology sector ☺️ www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

PCA Warwick have a new site in the Cotswolds which is looking promising! The team have found bone pins, a glass bead, and Romano-British pottery. The site lies on the edge of a settlement occupied from the Bronze Age to the Anglo-Saxon period, which may be the current town’s origins. #Archaeology

The standards of archaeological "journalism" are appalling. Hatchet pieces accusing heritage of constraining development. Misinformation. Sloppy repetition of myths. If the standard is this bad for archaeology, a subject I know about, how can I trust reporters on anything else?

We've just taken this Roman "planter pot" off display, and we must say, he's absolutely loving it. 😃

Archaeological translation of detecting speak: 1) "He then dug a further two feet (61cm)" = he dug in situ #archaeology. 2) "we are preserving history" = we are trashing context. 3) "museums, which did not wish to claim them" = museums, who couldn't afford them... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
