#art #Archaeology Belt Buckle, ca. 400 This object comes from the Vermand Treasure, the most richly appointed barbarian-warrior grave ever found. The grave was likely that of an auxiliary soldier stationed in the Roman province of Gaul.

A late entry for #TombTuesday , but this is the entrance passage to Taversoe Tuick on Rousay.

An unusual two storey, three chamber cairn, it's one of a number of Neolithic sites on Rousay.

Ovoid granite ship's ballast stone recovered by construction workers in New Orleans. A huge number of ballast stones were off-loaded from ships in the 17th-early 20th century to make room for cargo at the busy Port of New Orleans (founded ca. 1718). They were sold for landscaping, cobblestones, shoring up foundations, etc. #History #Archaeology

Before we started research, terminals were assumed to be cast directly onto neck rings.

What we've shown is some torcs are made of sheet gold, some have terminals cast separately & some cast-on...but they fail every time!!

Bubbles, holes, overruns, cracks - we've not found one cast/cast-on terminal that worked!

Why? We think because cast is copying sheet torcs - it's a method that works in sheet, but can't work in casting thanks to shape of torus & thin wall required.

'Do you have any more free stuff for us?' We hear you ask.

Well, yes, yes we do! 😊

We also produce book reviews, which are free to read online!!

Allison Mickels book "Why those who shovel are silent" is an excellent description of the way we as Europeans work in West Asia, even today. By utilising non-knowledge, workers try to keep their job instead of participating in the dig. Recommend to read!

#OnThisDay, 28 Nov 1967, PhD student Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the existence of pulsars.

Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's using it to set up a foundation to improve diversity in STEM.
