I always said I'd never pass the life in the UK test if they asked me to make tea properly... But the pub maybe I could pass 😉

My final #urbangeology walk for this year will take place on 4 October. Reservations and more information on #LondonWalks website at www.walks.com/our-walks/th.... Hope to see you there, this is my favourite walk!

Endometriosis research has been chronically underfunded even though it affects a large population of women and can be detrimental to those with it. So let's spend the little funding it gets to study how hard it is on the men.

On the evening of 30th June, BSR staff celebrated the end of the academic year with an informal reception in the BSR Gardens. The party was organized thanks to the generosity of Prof. John Osborne, an Ashby Patron and true BSR friend. Here are some photos of the reception!

That’s a Wrap – For Now! As our 2025 excavation season at Falerii comes to a close, we’re reflecting on an amazing few weeks of discovery.

Extremely productive excavation season at Falerii Novi once again! Some very helpful material coming from the hard work of our @ics.bsky.social @bsrome.bsky.social team 🙌 🏺 #Classicsbluesky

🍶 Sacred Shards: Ceramics and Ritual at Falerii Novi Ceramic specialist Letizia Ceccarelli has been working on an extraordinary assemblage of black gloss pottery, dating to the late 3rd century BCE—right around the time historical sources tell us the city was founded.

The staff at Iran's National Museum in Tehran have sandbagged the exhibitions they cannot move. I just...

BSR Archaeology Manager Stephen Kay considered how the scale and construction techniques point to an important early phase of the city. We're just at the beginning, but the streets and structures here are telling a powerful story of urban planning in early Falerii.

What’s emerging? A monumental structure built with opus quadratum blocks of local tuff—likely dating to the Republican period.

🧱 Exploring Early Falerii Novi This season, we've moved about 100 meters north of last year’s excavation area, still along the ancient Via Amerina but now closer to the northern gate of Falerii Novi.

Once the samples are processed, they'll be studied under the microscope back at the BSR to help reconstruct diet and environmental exploitation across the centuries—from the Roman Republic to the Middle Ages.

From carbonized seeds and charcoal to animal bones and even a dormouse tooth, these small finds offer big insights into past foodways and environments. Some of this season’s contexts are remarkably early or well-preserved, including ancient floors and drain fills with trapped biological remains.

🔍 Unseen Stories in the Soil Angela Trentacoste and her team are once again leading the environmental program—collecting tiny but vital traces of ancient life.

Lovely stroll in Nepi

In this project we have been working to improve, enhance visibility and the contribution of women archaeologists in Scotland. We meet every Thursday at lunch time and research, edit and create content for Wikipedia. We also have a podcast "Lunchtime Edits" which we will launch soon. Stay tuned!!

Réponse au cordeau de John Tolan (via H. Laurens sur fb : www.facebook.com/share/p/1BnV...) qui mérite d’être lue et diffusée très largement

I am offering two 4-year PhD positions (fully funded) and a 57 month combined post-doc / project manager position as part of my NWO-Vici grant, which starts in September.

THESE WERE INCREDIBLE. Just *look* at this model of the estate of Julia Felix by one of our @arcdurham.bsky.social students, Eleanor Paxton 🤯 ALL the projects were so well-researched and with such creativity on the part of all the students! Pedagogy gold star to @carolinebarron.bsky.social 🤩

"Hitler était socialiste.", "Les nazis étaient de gauche", etc. Vous avez peut-être lu ces bêtises sur les réseaux sociaux ces derniers mois. On a demandé au spécialiste du sujet, l'historien Johann Chapoutot de rétablir les FAITS, une bonne fois pour toutes.
