@AANDeloucas Very interesting, but it's the the wrong Cambridge for me!

@I_W_M They really just did anything in the 60's, didn't they?

[Lucy Ryan @Penelope_Lucy]

Brilliant exhibition! Trumpington cross, Must Farm bobbin, and Wimpole Estate man (excavated by @oatweet and National Trust) are a must-see!

If you’ve not yet been to see our current exhibition #MAABeneathOurFeet: Archaeology of the Cambridge Region you still have a month left to do so! Join us to explore what local archaeological discoveries reveal about the lives of those who walked this landscape before us. [1/2]

‘Tommy Robinson’ name is being thrown around a lot.
He was the one who people *worship* for *exposing* grooming gangs right?
Heres an observation…
I was victim to a ‘grooming gangs’ for years.
Alongside many different walks of life, race, religion, no matter who was in

Happy #SussexDay!🎉
We’re celebrating with new research suggesting early Medieval West Sussex was an independent kingdom that resisted Saxon rule for centuries more than once thought...📚🔍

Well, I fell for it!

I'm sure most of you have seen this picture before and I've been asked about it a few times and because I am who I am, I had to go research it.
Just in case you were wondering, no it's not a real medieval illustration, sorry.

@VivianLaughlin PFFFFAAAAAHAHHAHAHA

...Does the way we approach our discipline change? Should we be doing new projects, or consolidating old ones?

Caveat: without just throwing more money/time at the problem. (End)

Just came out of the Sir Robert Rede lecture by @wmarybeard on museums and what/whom the past is for. Very thought provoking, especially how old our "recent" museum controversies actually are! I'm going to put the question I asked out into the void of Twitter...

[Lucy Ryan @Penelope_Lucy]

...Considering the amount of Archaeological material that is excavated and then dissappears into museums/storage facilities without being published, does anyone have any thoughts about how we should approach Archaeological learning/research?...

[Lucy Ryan @Penelope_Lucy]

@AANDeloucas ...too late..

Pub reading. Brilliant so far, but if Great Cuthulu is not mentioned I will be very dissatisfied.

Oh look, an actually alright Elon Musk tweet.

The Taliban’s hatred of women extends beyond the living. It is now mandatory for store owners to cover the faces of mannequins.

These dystopian images are a sign of how much worse life is going to become for Afghan women if the world doesn’t stand with them.

ICYMI: "Several years ago, two archaeologists were talking about excavations in eastern Turkey that had taken place some time ago. One of them recounted this story:"

Irish lawyer Blinne Ni Ghralaigh who is supporting South Africa's legal team at the ICJ, says the number of orphans caused by ‘Israel’s genocidal assault on the Palestinian population in Gaza’ has led to the need for a new acronym: WCNSF - wounded child, no surviving family.
