My Hlhandling kit for the University of Glasgow Archaeology department is almost finished now; just shield to paint and spear to haft and a little sewing on the sword hilt and we are done! A very cool collection of Scottish-Norse material to make and assemble! #viking #earlymedieval #archaeodon #archaeogy

I'm amazed at what we still don't know about our species' time on this planet.

Statue du dieu Sylvanus en marbre blanc (époque impériale). Elle a été retrouvée en 1939 durant des fouilles effectuées à Rome (Viale Africa, maintenant Viale Aventino). Elle est exposée dans le musée de la Centrale Montemartini à #Rome. #CentraleMontemartini #sculpure #romansculpture #archaeogy #archéologie #archeodon

Sweet reads are made of this: Patrick McGovern's Ancient Wine, Uncorking the Past and The Ancient History of Wine, all on the same table.

Sunday reading #archaeogy #ireland #irishhistory

I've just switched over to archaeo.social so I thought I had better do another #introducion to my fellow #archaeodon folks! I work in commercial #archaeogy generally in post-ex/publication and illustration. My interest is in the #earlymedieval period, and I have co-authored a couple of our monographs on the subject; the #viking burials at Cumwhitton and St Michael's cemetery. I also do living history and make reproduction objects for museums, arch, and many others. I generally love nerdy stuff!

Oh and if anyone has suggestions on cross posting threads between Twitter and Mastodon, that'd be useful

This attempt failed (using the cross posting tool) and I had to do it manually. While I think my interactions should be platform specific, I'd like my curated #archaeogy threads to easily post on both

Excitedly I woke up to an email with digitized copies of two issues of a very hard-to-find occult magazine that I've been trying to track down, for its Brother XII content 👀

One interesting inclusion is an explanation for the triangle symbol. B12 sometimes signed off with a little triangle symbol, as seen in the example on the left (1927). I wondered what that meant. Fortunately he shares an explanation in one of the the new-to-me magazine articles (1927)! #Archaeogy #HistoricalArchaeology
