Sad to have had to cancel plans to join the opening of this exhibition of finds from Svinjarička Čuka at the museum in Leskovac, Serbia. It's going to be brilliant, congrats @barbarahorejs.bsky.social Vladar, & all the team!🏺🧪 #archaeology #Neolithic #Balkans

I took this photo on interview day. After seeing the absolutely astounding calibre of other candidates I guessed it was my last time at the campus. Feeling very lucky & excited to be heading back 🏺

Throw back to the York Festival of Ideas where I had a stand on Neolithic Pottery technology and how Archaeologists investigate it, with over 120 visitors to the stand it was manic but brilliant 🏺 #archaeology

Currently in Zadar Croatia. There's a lot of Roman archaeology including reuse of architectural stones, pillars, altars etc. in later churches 🏺⛪️ #archaeology

Also glad to get the chance to say a little about Neolithic pottery making in North Macedonia 🏺🔬 #archaeology #ENE2025

Absolute brilliant papers on spheres of potting traditions in the Neolithic by Javier Cámara Manzaneda et al. And Louise Gomart with colleagues from York. ENE2025 is demonstrating the need to cross cultural, geographic, chronological & disciplinary boundaries to understand Neolithic communities 🏺

Working on my talk for Emergence of the Neolithic in Europe conference in beautiful Zadar...

And the ceramic thin section making continues. These Neolithic sherds hold many secrets... 🏺🧪🔬 #archaeology #inthelab #Neolithic #Pottery

Haha it's not so bad. Here is an example of a Neolithic sherd from Serbia made with the same kind of materials 🏺🧪🔬
