Me, laughing, in front of a slide of a map of the fall of Western Roman Empire. Not really sure that this is helpful context.

Always startling to see the #AlfredJewel in real life. Especially interesting now that I've seen the #GallowayHoard which potentially destabilises the identification as an æstel.

Brighten your day. Historian rediscovers a pre-Incan method of water storage, gets money to restore the existing structures, and the town he grew up in now has access to water 10 hours a day, up from 1/2 hour per day. The details are v. cool.

It was always a "real thing," it just turns out to be a little bit older - and therefore more important - than originally thought. This article demonstrates how the word "copy" can be misinterpreted, especially in the context of medieval manuscript studies. 1/2
