For #FindsFriday this week here's a fragment of a bone bomb with some lovely decoration in the shape of a horse! It's from Childrey Warren in #Oxfordshire. The @cotswoldarch Virtual Museum has links to the site monograph so you can find out more https://t.co/UZUGINbzRy

The weekend is looming! So for this #FindsFriday here's an #IronAge loomweight (yes that was a bad pun!) See the 3D model and @cotswoldarch excavation report via the link below 👇 https://t.co/TG98YZqzRW #VirtualMuseum #archaeology

I do enjoy a good #boardgame and for this #FindsFriday here's a well decorated #medieval tableman (gaming piece!) I illustrated this artefact for the excavation report for Bidwell West - link to the free report below via @cotswoldarch Virtual Museum https://t.co/HdKtossBI8

It's been so brilliant to work with and learn from Dr Li Sou, and connect Buckinghamshire museums and local SEND schools.

We're incredibly proud to display some of this amazing work in the Buckinghamshire Gallery, of our Global Virtual Museum and we are all very excited for the next phase🙌

Thank you Li! 🧡

It's been a delight to help with this project and to see so many people get enthused to 3D scan! Do click the link to read the article to find out more, and go see @ParaHeritage's virtual museum, a fantastic resource 😄

Senior Illustrator Li has been working with @ParaHeritage to teach #3D scanning to SEND students – they've been learning skills in #photogrammetry, 3D modelling, and digital storytelling! 💻

🖼️ Through Li's hands-on workshops for the 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘭𝘺 𝘐𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵, local #SEND students have been digitising their own objects, contributing to a virtual exhibition that celebrates the unique stories behind each item and, ultimately, the artefact-rich heritage of the #Paralympics 🇬🇧

🔔 Ringing in #FindsFriday with a pretty little post-medieval bell! Had fun scanning this one for it's 3D model - it still chimes! Check out it's entry in the @cotswoldarch Virtual Museum here https://t.co/DnLmbdRoo5 #postmedieval #bell #archaeology #photogrammetry

Delving into the @cotswoldarch Virtual Museum for this #FindsFriday is this well-preserved iron spearhead, only missing the socket 👀 (click the link for more details, and it's 3D model!) https://t.co/keupLVdH92

Something different for this #FindsFriday with some finds from the @OxMuseumService finds I recently shared with the U3A on a talk about Bronze Age Oxfordshire! Some really cool finds here some of them first recorded on the @findsorguk database

[Dr Li Sou @LZSou]

It's cool to see archaeological tools from archaeological contexts! Here's a #Roman mattock head found in S. Gloucestershire @cotswoldarch (click below for the 3D model, links to report and monograph) https://t.co/PVASGXTWVe #FindsFriday #archaeology

@nebulousflynn The sheer amount of data loss if Epic decide to stop their free hosting service altogether would be a huge concern, particularly for view-only 3D models...

✨ Over the past decade, our #𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗮𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼��𝘀 have uncovered some 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀, each with its own story to tell, and we've now started sharing these 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 #𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗺! 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮 𝗹��𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 for your viewing pleasure... ✨

🏹 #𝗡𝗲𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 These beautifully crafted leaf-shaped arrowheads from Thame, Oxfordshire, were used in hunting (and maybe a few old quarrels...) and date to as early as 4000 BC!

🎺 #𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗰𝗵 From the A417, this Romano-British brooch dates back to AD 80-160. Its intricate design and petalled top make it a real standout – imagine pinning this on your cloak!

🐉 #𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗝𝘂𝗴 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘂𝘁 Ever seen a jug with a dragon spout? Apparently neither had this potter... This unusual fragment, discovered at Redcliff Quarter, dates to the 13th or 14th century and depicts a mythical beast – it's the ultimate medieval conversation piece

I've gotten a few questions from cultural heritage folks about the latest Sketchfab > Fab news.

@Susanki70043012 @Durotrigesdig @CotswoldArch Thanks! 😀

It's #FindsFriday! I thought it'd be fun to start sharing some of the cool finds in the @cotswoldarch Virtual Museum like this #Roman crossbow brooch. Click the link to check out the 3D model and for more info about this rather lovely artefact https://t.co/eDtTWPqAtQ

Today, we've hit a milestone of 50 3D models in the @CotswoldArch Virtual Museum! 🥳 it's brill to share these 3D scans of fascinating finds, do check them out on the website! #FindsFriday #3D #photogrammetry #archaeology

[Cotswold Archaeology @CotswoldArch]

Not to brag, but... We've just released the 𝟱𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝟯𝗗 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 #𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗺!! 😏🎉

We're marking the occasion by repeatedly shouting 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗔 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗨𝗠!, carefully placing moneybags filled with sand in place of biscuit stashes around the office, and fawning over this beautifully detailed #Roman stone altar (pan around for yourself, here: https://t.co/FMRHUcJhc0) 🤠

Found in #Gloucestershire and carved from Painswick limestone, the altar features intricate representations of sacrificial implements, offering a glimpse into the private religious practices of a Roman home. It likely served as part of a 'lararium' – a shrine dedicated to the guardian spirits of a Roman household.

Our Big Fifty milestone is a testament to the incredible work of our Senior Illustrator, Li, whose skill and dedication have brought our artefacts to life for you, in the digital world. So cheers, Li! 🤗🥂💐
