Bronze age Bling! -Second episode of my new series
‘ Lost Worlds with Miriam Cooke’ on History Hit. Smelting and glassmaking, having a blast. Exploring the craft making skills of our Bronze Age ancestors through experimental archaeology. @historyhit

[Secrets Of The Ice @brearkeologi]

Another incredible discovery at Lendbreen!❤️

We've found a complete arrow, and this one's extra special - it still has remains of sinew and pitch at the front and the fletching at the back! Preserved fletching is extremely rare on ancient arrows (1/3)

This was such a great series.

[Ben Lovell @DrBenLovell]

Between 2009-2012 there was a TV show called Getting On, which was the funniest and most realistic account I’ve ever seen of working in the NHS.

Does anyone know if there’s any way to watch it in the UK? I never see it repeated anywhere.

A snippet ⬇️

[Yurok Tribe @TheYurokTribe]

The Klamath River is experiencing an amazing transformation. The remaining 3 of 4 dams are coming down. This winter, Yurok crews hand planted 8.5 tons of native seeds in the former reservoirs. Now, an array of locally adapted wildflowers & grasses cover much of the clay soil.

[CHURCH GOING with Andrew Ziminski FSA & SPAB 🇺🇦 @natchjourneyman]

St Mary’s Brabourne, Kent has much that is strange and a little macabre but the belfry staircase is something else! Dendro dated to the C13th. Love that it is still propped and grounded on what would have been branches and that it is all held together with tree nails (wooden pegs). #churchgoing

[Miriam Cooke @miriamcooke]

Fascinating discussion around the movement and travel of women in prehistory here. Trading, hunting, kinship, marriage.

The best scene in cinematic history.

omg for real

[Jane E Hall @clothofnature]

On certain days throughout the year, I mindfully gather a stem of every plant flowering in our wild garden. A hectare of land, restored to #Nature. 33 different species pictured here, with more now in flower. Next ‘#Wildflower array day’, they’ll come into play! #WildflowerHour

Back in the day, the Smirnoff way. A fun day shooting this campaign.

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

There are lots of newly awakened hedgehogs around right now, walking great distances, crossing roads, in search of food and a mate.
Getting home 10 minutes later because you drove slowly won’t make that much difference to you, but it could make all the difference in the world to a hedgehog.

Always thinking about the Roman epitaph plaque written from the perspective of a little white dog named Pearl, who slept on a mattress and was beloved by her family 🥺 #NationalPetDay

Thornborough Henges in North Yorkshire has been reunited 🎉

We’ve acquired the 3rd & final henge meaning that public access across the entirety of this major Neolithic site is guaranteed. It is a remarkable survivor from the prehistoric past & we can’t wait to share its stories.

[Kevin Daly @kevinddaly]

Thinking about Sara Ramirez serving soprano vocals and enormous comedy in Spamalot's "The Song That Goes Like This," a devastating send-up of mega musical ballads in general, and ALW's Phantom in particular.

@DJCdelahaye Great, thanks, David

[Miriam Cooke @miriamcooke]

@DJCdelahaye Let me know when you’re meeting again- I’m away on the 30th unfortunately!
