If you are in #Carmarthen next weekend, coming along to the county museum to support a #PortableAntiquitiesScheme roadshow event exploring #archaeology and #metaldetecting in the region - this event will feed into an exhibition on these themes, to be hosted at the museum in early 2024.

It's been a fun #archaeology day in #Bangor. Of the less likely things to turn up, this aircraft propeller was definitely one of them!

Getting set up for a Finds Surgery in #Bangor today.

I spent today coding some of the spurs data I downloaded from the #PortableAntiquitiesScheme and came across a description of a terminal from a post-medieval rowel spur fragment as "fortuitously phallic-looking." Did I click on the image link? Of course I did.

(It looks more like one of those ganache-drizzled Black Magic chocolates to me, but you be the judge. Link is SFW, unless you have a very vivid imagination.)

The #PortableAntiquitiesScheme will be coming to #Bangor in the 24th of February, hosted by Storiel, with support from the Soil Sisters. Please share with anyone keen on identifying archaeological objects in the north-west of Wales please 😀.

Pretty sure this is from an #aurochs, but happy to have confirmation. Spent the morning in #Neath museum stores - a wonderland of materials that wants an in-depth collections review. Lots of relocations have meant details are lost and numbers no longer make sense. Hoping to help out - short term, keen to confirm if this is what I think it is (no numbers, no context for this - this is it for the archive).

Back to #PortableAntiquitiesScheme work today, working in the library at Carmarthen Museum - got very distracted by this, Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Soc. 1896 booklet detailing the Stourhead Collection, but...with a handwritten note by B. Howard Cunnington in the front cover, super cool. #archaeology #archives #libraries

@DrDaveH Really enjoyed your segment on the #DigVentures virtual tour.

That cross really was a show stopper!

Very nice to hear about the work the #PortableAntiquitiesScheme is doing in #Wales

Its a shame the current excavations at Rosina Vallis in #Pembrokeshire do not look like it's the location of a monastery but some nice #PreHistoric finds.

All set for the #DigVentures live virtual tour of their excavations at Rosina Vallis. Pulled out a nice collection of #medieval artefacts to share online, as we discuss #archaeology with connections to the historical religious landscapes of #Pembrokeshire and #Carmarthenshire.

Event is at 1pm tomorrow, links here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/virtual-tour-archaeology-dig-at-rosina-vallis-with-ancient-connections-tickets-443381354567

In the meantime, let's get back to #NeolithicNovember, and let me offer you this from the #PortableAntiquitiesScheme database, this beautiful, polished stone axehead - the blade edge really stands out here. This was found up north beyond Abergele, about as far north as you can go in terms of mainland #Wales.

Last of the @cymru defenders, it's Connor Roberts. A second #Wrexham born player. I wanted to mix this up and highlight that #itsnotallmetals, so we've got this nice decorated and glazed medieval floor tile. Similar examples have been identified from Carmarthen Priory and Neath Abbey.

Finishing off the defenders tonight, so next up is Neco Williams. #Wrexham born Nico gets this beautiful early #Roman period roundel. Found in Abenbury, the enameled decoration here really stands out. Probably part of a larger decorative object.

The #PortableAntiquitiesScheme - Cymru is contributing to a forthcoming Virtual Tour event, led by Dig Ventures, who are currently excavating at Rosina Vallis, near to #StDavids. The tour is online, free, and gives a chance to explore the ongoing excavations. I'll be there talking about the sort of finds that we might expect to identify from an early monastic site.
