DPhil student at ISIS Neutron and Muon facility/Lincoln College, Oxford. Investigating Lydian Electrum Coinage. Formerly of Durham University. Awful at remembering social media exists.
Not very good at announcements… but, hopping back on here to say I have started a Dphil at Oxford University and the ISIS Neutron and Muon Facility investigating Lydian Electrum Coinage. (Ssssh I know I’m wearing the wrong sub fusc).

Had an amazing time with The Armitt, and @nattrustarch.bsky.social . We loved meeting everyone who came along for the tours and got some fantastic feedback!
The trail was officially launched last weekend as part of The Armitt and @nattrustarch.bsky.social’s Ambleside Roman Fort open day for the #FestivalOfArchaeology, with Rowan and @aliceeliz.bsky.social giving trail tours to the public, supported by an @ics.bsky.social public engagement grant.

Lead Bullets | Armitt
Discovered dispersed across the Ambleside Roman fort site are these lead bullets. These are evidence that there could have been a Battle of Ambleside.

And here is the final photo for the trail itself 😱 Recent work by Edinburgh Uni and @trimontiumtrust.bsky.social suggests the sling bullets, all found scattered extramurally, are evidence for at least one battle outside the fort between the Roman army and the local population.

Would anyone happen to know if there’s any real connection between Lincoln’s Inn and Lincoln College Oxford? No real reason for wanting to know, just general nosiness.
