Devastating news! Hope they catch those terrible people

[Ely Museum @ElyMuseum]

Sadly, in the early hours of Tuesday 7 May, Ely Museum was broken into. Thieves stole the East Cambridgeshire gold torc and a gold bracelet, both dating from the Bronze Age.

The police are currently investigating the theft. We will be closed to the public on Wednesday 8 May.

[Northstowe Town @NorthstoweTown]

Residents of Northstowe and nearby villages teamed up with @CambridgeUnit and @MagSurveys to try and locate the hidden Royal Observer Core Post at the former RAF Oakington site which is being transformed into Northstowe new town.

They had a great time investigating!

This is a thread about hedges. They matter more than you think. And they are way more interesting. Let me explain… (1/12)

[MOLA @MOLArchaeology]

Have you ever wondered how we keep track of where we recovered our fantastic finds from National Highways @A428Cat scheme?

One method we use is marking the pottery and animal bone with ink. We include details such as the site & specific context number.

Let's get to the bottom of it 🕵‍♂️

Supervisor Alex is thrilled with this pot base found on the @A428Cat, thanks to what's been left inside.

We can analyse the contents for residues such as lipids (fats) and pollen to see what this pot contained. 🤔

[Cotswold Archaeology @CotswoldArch]

This week we've raised sector-wide issues relating to 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, inclusive 𝗣𝗣𝗘, 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 and 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲, and 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀. It's a bit scary shouting into the digital void about these serious topics – you don't know who will shout back, or if anybody will at all...!

So we just wanted to say a 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 to every one of you who contributed to these discussions! We started this week with challenges and we've ended it with a mind-blowing wealth of information for further improving our sector, and a reminder that we are part of an incredible, inclusive, archaeological community 🙌✨

𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘁��𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱! 💐🍻☀
