When I broke my wrist just before Christmas I was in+out of A&E in an hour. I thought I'd been very lucky and put it down largely to time of day (8.15am on a Saturday). So I found this interesting, and quite positive, reading.

Doing fieldwork in your nice clothes?? This incredible piece of 3D pavement art recreates the experience of excavating the Trojan War Mosaic. Zoom in to marvel at the detail and then get over to Rutland County Museum, Oakham, to have a go for yourself! #FindsFriday #RCM3DArt

I'm pleased to have a small role in this Historic England/Cotswold Archaeology project. The swords are quite something and Glenn the detectorist is a great chap. It'll be interesting to see what else we learn as research progresses. #FindsFriday

When I say I've spent a lot of this week working on my nails, it makes it sound a lot more glamorous than the reality of this Roman ironwork assessment. #FindsFriday
