A hoard of over 1900 #Roman silver coins found at Falkirk (Scotland); equivalent to 10+ years pay for an ordinary soldier. The coins range in date from 83BC to AD230, & may have been part of a bribe paid by Rome to a chieftain north of the frontier to secure peace for a while 🏺AncientBlueSky

It is with crushing sadness that I share the news that Dr Kay Hartley, our mortarium extraordinaire, died last week at the age of 94.

I visited her the week before she passed, and I will forever cherish the memory of that visit. May she rest in peace and her legacy be continued.

I don't know how many times we have to say this, but they're "Thieves", not "Nighthawkers". They're not highwaymen, they're looters #ancientbluesky

For #TilesOnTuesday large dog's paw prints on a #Roman tile. I can totally picture animals walking on tiles before they were fired!

Brexit hasn't been betrayed.

The British people have not been betrayed.

The betrayal was Brexit.

Once that is the established narrative, we can all go forward together.

'BrΓΆther, may I have some archaeology research?'

Yes, this picture really does feature in one of our publications! 19th-century British farmers used paintings of extraordinarily large farm animals to display their skills as breeders, acting as status symbols 🏺

Will we find anything similar this year on #Durotriges25?

This once-elegant copper-alloy mount, incised, moulded and pierced with tiny holes, came from a Romano-British pit in the Cotswolds. It was probably attached to a circular object, perhaps made of wood or leather. What could it have been?
