Archive find of the week is this wolf and dog tooth necklace found at the foot of an Early Bronze Age burial in a barrow at South Newton, excavated in the 19th century. Photograph from the Wiltshire Museum archives #WildWednesdays#Archaeology https://t.co/BVazkaioVf
This striking Iron Age bone comb was made from a horse metapodial bone, recovered during excavations by Wessex Archaeology at Harwell, Oxfordshire. The seemingly human face that looks back at us is a highly unusual form of decoration for this object type & period! #WildWednesdays
A wide range of plant and animal remains are preserved in Bronze & Iron Age waterholes. Sometimes ladders used by humans to access them survive too-as seen in this example from recently (open access) published excavations at Slade End Farm #WildWednesdays https://t.co/SZssEWEjr1
Great timelapse video of the team from @school_of_arch and @oatweet busy coring up at Hepple Wilds (Northumberland) for 'Stories of Landscape Change'. Thanks to Hepple Estate for letting us put holes in things! #WildWednesdays
Many fine prehistoric objects were crafted from antler, including these โcheek-piecesโ interpreted as horse gear. These Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age egs were recovered from excavations >250km & 130yrs apart at Eye Quarry (Cambs, CAU) & Heathery Burn Cave (Durham)#WildWednesdays

@JoanaValdez I did actually try to think of an alternative term but struggled to find one that sounded right- could you suggest one? I'd be more than happy to use it in the future! -Tina
Highlight of today's report trawl are these images of ancient footprints in the clay, where we see the mingled traces of Bronze Age cattle, pig & deer visiting a man-made waterhole (Image: Cambridge Archaeological Unit, site: Bradley Fen) #WildWednesdays#Archaeology
