I really loved the Ely torc - many a time speculating with colleagues about why the diameter was so great - made for pregnant women? sheep?

I really hope they get it back 😫

Been minded of how much of an alcohol problem #archaeology has & how little it's discussed. Our world revolves around drink, after work pints (...used to be lunchtime pints too). So much of the networking, social life & narrative of being an arch involves booze.

It's alarming.

I mean you'd laugh... except... the likelihood that a Keele Prof is getting a door knock right about now is not unimaginable...

OUP: publishers of treasonous material!!

Oh, this aperitif to Tory electoral wipe out at the General Election is delicious!! 👏👏🤣🤣👏👏

The most exciting part of #archaeology for me is watching new ideas develop from those who know their stuff - that takes time, effort & detailed knowledge of the full range of any artefact type.

So yes, all this 👇, and in due course I can't wait to see what Lorena finds out! ❤️

The 'Thieving Vikings' paper has been out for 3 weeks.

Really proud of my daughter for exercising her democratic right for the first time!

Made the polling staff very happy too, who took the time to guide her through the process! 😊
