We focus on the results of several Archaeology workshops developed in collaboration with ONCE.

In this we demonstrate that the use of replicas is an excellent support in the teaching-learning process with students with blindness and discuss the need to introduce these resources in museums. 👨🏻‍🦯👩🏻‍🦯

🚨Volume 34 of the CPAG journal on Archaeology in the Digital Age has been published.

I have collaborated with @soniadiaznv.bsky.social in an article on 3D printing and accessibility of archaeological heritage

Great! Add me please! Thanks🏺

I didn’t know it! That’s amazing. I’m going straight to the work referenced below. Thanks!

Of course!

However, I'll take the whole museum, designed by the famous architect Jean Nouvel. You can see the planimetry of the domus as you walk through it, you just have to look up at the ceiling! 5/🧵

#RomanSiteSaturday

It is really impressive to see the remains of painting that have been preserved. You can also learn more about the daily life of the time thanks to the graffiti that have been found. I love this one of the little dog called VAVA 4/🧵

The domus is structured around a central garden with a peristyle and you can visit the different rooms, see the heating system...3/🧵

#RomanSiteSaturday

It is located near the ancient temple of the goddess Vesunna, partially but exceptionally preserved. Note how high it rises! 2/🧵

It's #RomanSiteFriday and I'm here to present the Domus of Vésone (1st-3rd centuries AD) on which the Gallo-Roman museum of Vesunna (Perigueux) is located. 1/🧵

The Economy of Roman Empire: Quantitative Studies (1974) of Duncan-Jones is classic. In addition to Roman Italy, he focuses on North Africa.

Newly posted on Current Epigraphy, here's @palaeofuturist.bsky.social with notice of the open-access volumes so far produced by the LatinNow project (#Latinization of the north-western #RomanProvinces: #sociolinguistics, #epigraphy and #archaeology):

I love this trend. I bring this cute little hog from the museum of Vesunna (Perigueux)

You can also see the dedication of its construction, financed by Aulus Pompeius and his son as an act of evergetism for the benefit of the whole city!

In the museum of #Vesunna you can see an ideal reconstruction of the building.

The whole park is surrounded by the ruins of the cavea of the amphitheatre.

One of the most interesting places in Perigueux is this playground. Why is that? Just look at the shape it makes. It follows the silhouette of the ancient arena of the Roman amphitheatre

An aerial image of the ancient town of Falerii Novi with wall circuit visible under a tree line, ancient gate in foreground, and a road leading into the site to a church and farmstead. Surrounded by agricultural fields and a mountain in the distance.

Absolutely *thrilled* to advertise a fully funded PhD studentship WITH stipend thanks to generous London Arts & Humanities AHRC funding! 🎉 🏺 🗃️

You’ll be based at @ics.bsky.social in partnership w/ @bsrome.bsky.social researching the surrounding funerary landscape of Falerii Novi

An Introduction of Archaeological Illustration: Small Finds Workshop This Friday, June 19th (Juneteenth), I taught an online workshop for the Newfoundland and Labrador Archaeology Society (NLAS). In case you missed the workshop or wanted a refresher after we wrapped…

@archaeologytube.bsky.social I did an illustration tutorial on my blog a few years ago, that might be useful for you!! 🏺

Does anyone know of any published work on the subject in a scientific journal? Amazing work!

There are many examples of the (archaic) formula of faciundam curavere…(e)idemque probavere. See, for example, CIL X, 4663.

I have no opinion on the iconography but the text is totally plausible. The only transcription error is the alternation between the V and the N. This type of error is common in some 'inexperienced' lapicides who traced on stone the text indicated in the 'formae'.

I would love to be added!

A woman in a long yellow dress holds hands with and kisses a man clad in red. The piece has a cartoonish feel to it.

#FrescoFriday - A couple kissing, with a(n unclear) graffito speech-bubble (CIL IV 3494; Caupona of Salvius, Pompeii: VI.14.36):

"nolo / cum murtal [---]so[-"

Perhaps: 'I don’t want to do it with Myrtale'
