I love this Victorian illustration of an Iron Age pit burial. Like, that hair is wild and why does he have horns? 😂
Illus: E.W. Poole, 1885.

[IARSS2021 @iarss2021]

Come to IARSS 2021 on 3rd June - we’re very lucky to have a lightening talk by two of the experts involved in this project.

We're delighted to launch the #IronAge #Coins in Britain website! It's the most comprehensive typology of Iron Age coins in Britain & is an excellent tool for anything from finds identification to academic research. Find out more here: https://t.co/GReYfu9tGl

[Richard Osgood @richardhosgood]

Wonderful to hear that the @AshmoleanMuseum has got a grant to catalogue its holdings from the incredible site at Hallstatt. For anyone into Late Bronze Age/ Early Iron Age this is THE site. Can there be a more picturesque location either? https://t.co/O8OqYmZMR8

[Tess Machling @Tess_Machling]

Just found this gorgeous illustration in the @britishmuseum catalogue of the Needwood Forest torc from Staffordshire (also on display at the BM)

You can find it here - https://t.co/vZfl50T9OB

Did you know?: When first publicly exhibited in the 1820s, these two shields were named 'the Tarian' and 'the Ysgwyd' (now 'the Witham shield'), derived from shield descriptions by Welsh poet Taliesin in the 6th c. Or, a more playful translation: 'dance' and 'shake'

[Bog Body Network @BogBodyNetwork]

Brilliant #lockdown research by our own @julia_farley!

We can’t argue with engaging experimental archaeology and gorgeous textiles!

Can we see your Iron Age inspired textiles and spread some colourful artisan work around the Twitterverse?! 🧵🧦

[Dr Emma Tollefsen @EmmaTollefsen]

📣 The Iron Age is coming to todays MCAE RESEARCH SEMINAR 🧶

Three utterly beautiful books - the question is where to start? @JohnGarthWriter on Tolkien (with archaeology) @LeMoustier on Neanderthals or @MelanieCGiles on Bog Bodies? These are GOOD dilemmas to have #agoodread

[Dr Emma Tollefsen @EmmaTollefsen]
