A broad-band silver armring with stamped decoration from the Galloway Hoard, deposited c. AD 900.
Likely beaten out of silver ingots, they were produced, seemingly, in Hiberno-Scandinavian / Great Army contexts c. 870x930, following a 'prototype' form developed in Danish southern Scandinavia.

I have always loved some of the portraiture on Roman coinage - here's a favourite from the Brislington Coin Hoard: a denarius of Septimius Severus with wonderful curly hair and beard detail. I also love the way the wavy edge shows how the silver has been squashed as it was struck. #FindsFriday

For #FindsFriday a neck ring found in a Jutish bog. The tradition of offering neck rings was common practice in the Bronze Age period in Jutland, Denmark, and still thrives in the first century of the Iron Age. Solid crown neck rings are of foreign design,with inspiration...1/2

#Adventkalender Door 6: this is another find from our Millom Community Dig in the summer: a cap(?) badge with a boar's head left above a banner with the motto VIX EA NOSTRA VOCO (lat. "I scarcely call these things our own"). If anyone can shed any light on this, or give us a date we'd appreciate it!

I captured the light shift over a day at Wells Cathedral and put it on my wall - a full day of light jam packed into my room. My image of Wells Cathedral in a day is now available as a digital print. 📍More info here🔗: andymarshallphotos.co.uk/products/wel...

#Woodensday! Only few pieces of furniture from early #medieval times have been preserved. Due to the water-logged condition of the area, many wooden objects such as this terrific chair made from maple and ash wood survived in a burial at Trossingen.

Sometimes nothing beats a good old family recipe. For this festive season, here's a mid-20th century one for gingerbread from our Burrows family recipe book. If you make it, do let us know!

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:
Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
