#findsfriday 🏺 I'm on the way to Chester for Reconnecting Roman Britain, so a find held in the Grosvenor seems appropriate! Carnelian intaglio in a later Roman or Early Medieval silver pendant setting. The image shows a fallen gladiator fending off a big cat. 📷: @findsorguk.bsky.social

Thank you @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social for being the kind of museum that actually makes me want to learn new things again! 🏺

I bought this ruler at the @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social a few weeks ago, and now I can name all the English monarchs in order from 1066 onwards. No one in my life (outside my husband) is very excited about this new knowledge, but my inner history-obsessed child is so very happy!

Hello bluesky! I am an archaeologist and editor at @bar-publishing.bsky.social. Looking forward to finding some new people here, mostly around #archaeology. You can expect sporadic-at-best interaction, and occasional dog photos (say hello to my greyhound Gwyn, pics below!)
