Colin Renfrew has passed away. A hugely influential figure in archaeology throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries.
Here are a few photos of him from about 15years ago, when I was working on his Keros Project.

I recently tried my hand at replicating an Ancient Egyptian core-formed glass perfume bottle.
I did this in a tiny handmade bead furnace (something like a pizza oven but even smaller), showing that such processes can be done in structure which leave relatively little archaeological evidence.
