Q for the hivemind: what's the best place to find archaeological reconstruction illustrations? Struggling to find any online repositories I'm specifically looking for examples of inclusive/intersectional depictions of Roman society (especially Roman Britain) would love any leads! 🏺 #AncientBlueSky

Had a lovely day at the UCD Archaeology PhD Research day today! A great chance for all of us to talk through some thoughts from our work so far, and an excuse to show off my romano-british bestie (the hand turkeys on the chalkboard were paid actors)

Maria stands off the the side of a pull down screen. The screen shows a slide from her presentation, showing a cartoon woman with a walking stick, an image from a greek vase, and two images of medicinal plants. Maria is standing in front of a chalkboard (which sits behind the pull-down screen) on which two hand turkeys have been drawn.a close-up of the cartoon woman with a cane from the previous image. A speech bubble to her right reads "salve!" - or hello in Latin.

What's up bluesky! I think it's about time for an introduction: I'm María, a PhD student in bioarchaeology 🦴🔍 studying the lived experiences and perceptions of disability in Roman Britain 🧑‍🦽🏺 Stick around to witness my descent into writing madness !
