Mae peli carreg cerfiedig fel hon yn dyddio'n ôl i 3000-2600 CC ac mae eu pwrpas yn anhysbys o hyd.

Hen gasgliadau: syrpreisys newydd! Mae gwirfoddolwyr wedi bod yn brysur yn trefnu casgliad mawr o gerrig a doedden ni methu credu'r peth pan welon ni'r bêl garreg gerfiedig hon!
Yn wreiddiol o Swydd Aberdeen, roedd yn 1 o >100,000 o ganfyddiadau a gasglwyd gan Henry Stopes.

Carved stone balls like this one date to around 3000-2600 BC and their purpose remains a mystery.

Old collections, new surprises! Volunteers have been busy sorting a big collection of lithics & we couldn't believe it when this Neolithic carved stone ball emerged!

Originally from Aberdeenshire, t'was 1 of >100,000 finds collected by Henry Stopes in the late 1800s #FindsFriday

Cataloguing some Iron Age animal bone from Prestatyn, Denbighshire and gasped when I noticed this butchered red deer femur - look at those cut marks! The fracture! 🍖

Such intimate details of everyday life in the past make archaeology so special ❤️
