(Thread) "While working in an apprenticeship role for Historic England my time has been split between a full-time aerial survey investigator role,
So pleased to see the Downs from Above in the news this morning. This area of the South Downs has everything - from prehistoric burials to (quite frankly bizarre) Victorian funfairs! Great work @HE_Archaeology@NatTrustArch https://t.co/tvGX0pwfuj
The cave of Lascaux is a system of caves in Dordogne (France) where they have discovered significant samples of the cave and paleolithic art, dated 17,000 or 18,600 years ago (Magdalenian period) according to the analysis of a rod of reindeer antler.
Our new 2023 dig at @EnglishHeritage Birdoswald Roman Fort, with @UniofNewcastle, is already producing great finds. This Roman finger ring with intaglio (carved gemstone) might show the god Mars. Research continues but we couldn't resist sharing this lovely item for #FindsFriday
We're recruiting for 7 apprenticeships, from discovering archaeology to working in recruitment and promoting our work online.
Our apprenticeships are open to everyone and offer a paid learning opportunity across heritage and support roles.
