We had one of these in my house when I was a kid. Beautiful and detailed as only the @OrdnanceSurvey can do, and only 7s6d to buy. (Ask your mum/gran what that means.) A friend gave me this one and I treasure it for itself and for research.

Thanks to @ancientorigins magazine and Alicia Mc Dermott for such a lovely article about my Ancient Roman music. Might open the quality street slightly early 😀#classicstwitter #romanscotland #romanbritain #themusicofancientrome

A rather large & wonderful (but hard to photograph) section of painted wall plaster depicting Cupid from a #Roman villa discovered in #Southwell, Notts.
Now on the wall of the splendid #SouthwellMinster.

More photos from the @culverproject dig bonanza. Great finds, great features, great people and great sun management over big holes.
Do they teach contortionism @CCCUarchaeology ? Lovely to see fellow @BtnHoveAS people there this week.

Around 1900 years ago, this brooch fell off. Monday, I found it. It feels like meeting the person who lost it. Almost. The closest to time travel we get. This is why I love archaeology.

Dig portrait no.3 is our Julia aka Dr Bones! Her first dig was at Preston Park in 2019. She found a scythe & immediately got the digging bug. Julia joined @Culver_Project & is now one of the leads in their finds unit (see photos). She is also our lead in Bone Identification.

I'm back in the office today after a wonderful week with @CCCUarchaeology @Culver_Project

Description: video of people walking through corn, pan of excavation site then a series of excavation photos finishing with a 3d model of a mostly complete pot in situ

[Sussex FLO @sussex_flo]

For #FindsFriday a recently recorded Roman lion headed mount, possibly from a cremation casket. He's a bit worn about the face with one eye surviving and surrounded by a thick mane. A lovely find from #WestSussex.

Brighton lad done good, Dr Miles Russell (@Durotrigesdig ) says
"It was a totally unexpected discovery, and the monolith (now in Brighton Museum) remains, to date, the only prehistoric standing stone recorded from the South Downs." Read in link to find out what he's on about...
