Volunteers wanted for a Palaeolithic Field School in Breitecnbach, Germany (July-October 2026)!

Fitting that this pops after a series of tales of bogs, watery places, and watery women with @jasonstoryteller.bsky.social this evening! Go deep enough into the bog, and you're back on dry land

'Enormous' cave under Pembroke Castle could rewrite history, researchers say Archaeologists have so far uncovered

Niche #ArchaeoTeaTowels are totally a thing

Oh no this is gorgeous

Archaeological tea towel connoisseurs

Isn't it though??!

You know you want it too....

All the merch!

I wanted the entire phase plan made into wallpaper, for my downstairs bog

Yes! We nearly got snared by this one yesterday - I warned The Teen and got a withering look

An unused white linen tea towel showing a beautiful black line work hachure plan of the North Ring at Mucking, excavated between 1965-78 by Margaret Jones, assisted by her Husband Tom Jones (not that one). Reproduced absolutely without the permission of the Trustees of the British Museum

Ok, slightly niche and potentially doesn't hit the brief as it's a souvenir of a gargantuan post-excavation project, but check out my Mucking Phase Plan tea towel

Vintage!

Pint! A meal in a glass!

This looks like a fantastic resource - was there an English edition at all?

Not long to apply for this (12th April) but a great opportunity

Look at the life and detail in this work - it's absolutely beautiful

Oh goodness, I cannot love this enough. Thank you for sharing it

A marvellous blue-green jumper, with an extremely neat patch of darning over a hole in the elbow, but which doesn't quite match, as the yarn is dyed a marbled blue and green. The edges are a bit ropey, though

And also: check out my darning! Far too pleased with myself

Job Opportunity Alert!

Full-time, 2-year (potentially 3-year) contract for Prehistoric Art specialists is now live! www.u-bordeaux.fr/application/...

Deadline: April 20

Open beech woodland with a grey sky behind: there are no leaves on the trees, but there is a brilliant indigo spread of bluebells across the woodland floor. Crab Wood, Winchester, Hampshire UK

When the bluebells first come through, they always take my breath away. Magical

Oooh, good question! I think I came across as a technique taught by someone (way before my time) at Cambridge originally, but I have no recollection who. Maybe a connection there?

Ah, I may have a video somewhere - you can show all the different Levallois flaking strategies on a potato! You decorticate the striking platform surface, then flip it and shape the flaking surface - the take a big old Levallois chip off the flaking surface

Excellent! Thank you x

Is this the #LevalloisPotato origin story??!!

Oh, now, this is marvellous! Where is it from?!
