A pile of archaeological books about the Iron Age, Druids, hillforts and Boudicca. On the right is the. Ok on the finds from Llyn Cerrig Bach by Sir Cyril Fox.

Really looking forward to giving the Cambrian Archaeological Association Christmas lecture tonight. There may be Druids! Am doing some last minute cramming with the help of some of the usual suspects. Thus I can blame them for any errors! #celts #ironage #veterans #archaeology #wellbeing

For me, Ancient Music Ireland playing the Loughnashade horns were the highlight of my night.

Theyre so loud!!! Keep Romans off your lawn with these baddies!

A bronze bulls head with curved horns and protruding tongue that forms a ring - the handle of an Iron Age bronze vessel.

An ox-head Iron Age bowl handle from Llantrisant Fawr in Wales. Some 2000 years old and gloriously ’Celtic’ with incised tongue. Known (I believe) as ‘bovril’ the vessel was worked on by @archaedelle.bsky.social . Having seen it this week I thought it perfect for #findsfriday #archaeology #celts

Fibula (leg) is the only fibula for me

@archaedelle.bsky.social the CAS lecture was excellent. The range of your study and different results were fascinating plus you totally threw me with mummification! Thank you for answering me.

Awww omg thank you so much Kim, that’s so nice to say 🥹 it was a good question!

All I want for Christmas is the abolition of the term ‘fibula’ (brooch), or worse: ‘fibula brooch’

No better way to spend a day than at Amgueddfa Cymru/National Museum Wales St Fagans in excellent company with @archaedelle.bsky.social, @richardosgood.bsky.social & the Op Nightingale team. Thanks to all the museum staff for a memorable day 👌🍻

Next Portable Antiquities day in Aberystwyth will be happening on 13th December in the National Library of Wales.

I'll be there along with the super knowledgeable @archaedelle.bsky.social 🥳

On a chilly morning such as this, let’s imagine ourselves as a Hadrian’s Wall soldier starting his shift in one of the turrets, checking his section of wall, & then upwards on watch duty.
Filmed Tuesday morning, at fabulous @vindolandatrust.bsky.social before the snow!
#RomanFortThursday

It’s horrid & cold & barely light out there - so warm yourselves around the glow of this Roman cavalry horse chamfron at @vindolandatrust.bsky.social based on one found in the excavations. Bronze dazzling as gilt & leather smooth as caramel, this is the accessory every little pony wants this Xmas.🎄

I tried dming you but it won’t let me but basically, I’ve also been thinking of doing freelance stuff like finds reports/human osteo work and I fear this is the direction the sector is going so it’s better to be ahead of the curve and I will support you in any way I am able!!

Students & researchers have a tough time keeping the names of Roman emperors and elites straight. But we do have a database to help name and number each. It is called the Prospographia Imperii Romani (=PIR) and has 15061 persons, of which 1932 are women. Please use the database! pir.bbaw.de#/search

Seriously looking forward to this with the renowned @richardosgood.bsky.social 🔥🧙💯

Hahaha oh nooo 😭😂 you have to try some Buffalo Trace, Maker’s Mark, or Woodford Reserve! They always have at least one of them in any big supermarket, and Tesco usually has Maker’s discounted this time of year! 🥃

Which bourbon are you drinking? (I’m from Kentucky originally, this topic is close to my heart 😂)

Give Gwenny lots of cuddles from me ❤️‍🩹

Same, Missy is so upset she’s making herself sick and I can’t get her heart rate to slow ☹️

Friendly reminder, if you see someone this Halloween wearing the plague doctor with the bird beak mask costume, you have to ask them what they are supposed to be and if they then say they're a medieval plague doctor... it's your duty to correct them ;)

As folks have pointed out, these are all actual coins, some are just extremely rare and from the margins of the Roman Empire. Kudos to the designers for don’t their homework, it’s still bonkers but in a different (more impressive) way! 👏👏👏

Hahahah yes someone else pointed this out, which makes me love it even more! I never see these types in Britain, they’re all from different regions of the empire. The attention to detail by the designers is commendable

Hehe thanks angel!!! I love it so much 😂

On January 21, 2025, CIAsandman tweets: "White boy fuel." There's a photo showing him holding a half-eaten piece of bread a bottle of water. On his wrist is a white Swatch watch.

An eBay auction for the Swatch says: 1996 Vintage Swatch Watch TUTTI FRUTTI GW109 Working Swatch Watches Women

you think it's "gay" to be associated with anything left of center ...

... and yet, on jan 21, 2025 ...
