Very interesting! Colour has always been important to different societies but perhaps not so well understood by us looking into the past #archaeology 🏺🧪

Can share this again now that the paper has been published: www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

A few days ago, the closing slab of an untouched Etruscan tomb was removed by archaeologists in the necropolis of San Giuliano (Barbarano Romano, Lazio). The burial chamber is from the 7th century BC. Can you imagine the emotion entering this tomb, untouched for 2600 years ? #PaleoSky #TombTuesay🏺

Please stop with lazy/disrespectful headlines about Archaeologists stumbling, being puzzled etc. They did not stumble, it was discovered as part of a road scheme. Most archaeology is recovered as part of planning & development process which includes monitoring for archaeology🏺 #archaeology

Throw back to the York Festival of Ideas where I had a stand on Neolithic Pottery technology and how Archaeologists investigate it, with over 120 visitors to the stand it was manic but brilliant 🏺 #archaeology

Over 10,000 years ago, when people first started settling in permanent villages in south-west Asia, they already seem to have had a rich tradition of body ornamentation. Piercing was possibly a coming-of-age ritual 🏺 🔗 from 2024 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy...

This was a really fabulous lecture. Annelou challenges us all to look beyond our material categories (pottery, bone, metal etc) to see the fuller picture. In the past tool kits were very varied! 👏🏺 #archaeology

I love the wee hat! #archaeology 🏺

Hi folks, does anyone have a PDF of this? Thanks! #psychology #archaeology #academicChat 📕🧪

Tomorrow I have a stand at the York Festival of Ideas discovery zone where folks can come & learn about Neolithic pots and have a go at making one. There's quite a few #archaeology stands so worth popping along! yorkfestivalofideas.com/2025/calenda... 🏺🔬
