Rachel Cubitt has done an exemplary job of drawing together material narratives of lives at the villa, from finds and enviro evidence, bringing the place to life. This project felt like a real partnership between 'field' and 'finds' archaeologists, trying to enrich and diversify villa stories. 4/10

The discovery of a massive early medieval silver chain was reported by Inverness Journal #OTD in 1808. Men found it while digging the Caledonian Canal at Torvean. Of a type unique to Scotland, often linked with the Picts, it lacks its penannular clasp. 📸National Museums Scotland #medievalsky

This winter I purchased a penannular brooch so I can basically just wear blankets when it's cold. It's great, we should bring this back and you should support your local blacksmith by ordering one.

Happy winter solstice to all; from this day onward the light only grows.
