Grave Goods

The AHRC-funded Grave Goods project focuses on material culture in graves and other formal mortuary contexts in Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age Britain.

I don’t know what they sound like, but I like their name!

✨Out Friday!✨

Taking influence from early post-punk and minimalist rock, Manchester/Belfast/Dublin trio Grave Goods issue a debut that's urgent and demanding, claustrophobic yet spacious. Highly recommended!

@caldamac @macmillancancer I was there too; amazing! My friend & I picked c. 40 kg & are donating > 50% as frozen berries & jam to local Food Hub in Kirriemuir. I recommend jam, jelly with other fruit (eg gooseberry, sloes), and blueberry gin. Smoothies & muffins & blueberry, beetroot & chilli chutney!

George Petrie (1818-1875) investigated many archaeological sites on Orkney. His wonderful excavation notebooks - full of sketches and quirky asides - are now available for #volunteers to explore and decipher: https://t.co/uuDQSCRYkT. @MicroPasts @NtlMuseumsScot @HistEnvScot

Check out these fantastic 17th century under breeches, spotted by a new Finds Hub volunteer and now linked up to the bog burial site at Hill of Quintfall (Image: NMS). What can you unearth in the Finds Hub?: https://t.co/lzI4ZNjbKU @NtlMuseumsScot

Calling all #archaeology detectives!🔎

Can you link Scottish archaeological objects to the places they were found? Help the Finds Hub connect the dots https://t.co/gZcutqpkuD

January's mission, should you choose to accept it: connect prehistoric grave goods to funerary sites.

[Historic Environment Scotland @HistEnvScot]

If you like solving mysteries, making connections and generally tidying things up, then we cannot stress how SATISFYING the brand new Finds Hub project is!

It's like Marie Kondo for the Scottish heritage sector and it needs digital #volunteers right now!

Why do we bury things with the dead? Possessions. Gifts. Keepsakes. Charms. Favourite things. Dressed to look their best. Things to remember us by. Debts repaid. New debts made. Food for the journey. Kit for the next life. #MuseumFromHome @bbcarts @ahrcpress #CultureinQuarantine

1/It's the time of the year when traditionally the dead 💀 are commemorated. Museums are full of objects connected to death, what can they tell us about mourning & remembrance?Inspired by @Grave__Goods let's embark on a journey to explore objects & death @britishmuseum (thread)..
