Join us for the 2026 REMADE conference - Science & Society: Archaeometallurgy in UK Heritage! The conference is taking place on Sept. 15, both in person at the @uniofreading.bsky.social & online, and is free to attend. For full details & to register, visit: tinyurl.com/REMADE2026 #Archaeology

We're analysing the copper alloy finds from the Roman remains right now & it's great to visit the site on our lunch break (if there's a break in the rain!).

Camp Hill promontory fort, Lydney. The Iron Age defenses are still well defined. There is a Roman settlement within the defenses, built around iron mines. It was excavated by Mortimer Wheeler in the 1920s & the ruins of the bathhouse & temple to Nodens are visible. #HillfortsWednesday

In case you missed it earlier this week, read the lastest @uor-research.bsky.social blog to learn all about how REMADE is tracing rebellion during the Crisis of the 3rd century in the chemistry of Roman radiate coins! 🪙 rdg.ac/4notWE9 #FindsFriday #Archaeology #AncientSky

Britannia, 274 AD. A rogue general has defied Rome to form a splinter state and, somewhere in Wiltshire, 55,000 coins are buried in the dirt. Now, analysis of their alloys is letting archaeologist @kmurphster.bsky.social track an empire's rise & fall Read our blog 🔗 rdg.ac/4notWE9 #AncientSky

It's @askanarchaeologist.bsky.social day and today we have at the Palace: Conservators Archaeological chemists Experimental archaeologists Finds specialists Field archaeologists Geophysicists Ecologists Marine archaeologists It's almost like we planned it. Ask away!!

We're all set up at @romanpalace.bsky.social! Looking forward to chatting with lots of people and striking some replica Roman coins! #FestivalOfArchaeology

Tomorrow (Friday July 25) is the Meet the Experts event at @romanpalace.bsky.social & we have very kindly been included in the experts you can meet! Come say hi, check out artefacts we've analysed, chat copper chemistry & design your own replica Roman coin!

We've been busy with some experimental #Archaeology & have been striking our own coins! We had some custom dies made - official & barbarous portraits of Tetricus, the project & the @uniofreading.bsky.social logo. We've got enough for a hoard now! #FindsFriday

A very hoppy #FindsFriday - an adorable little crouched hare plate brooch (only 2cm long!). It has a tinned surface with bands of niello inlay and a hinged pin. It was found in the Forum Basilica excavations at Silchester #Roman Town. #Easter #Archaeology

I'm super excited to let you know that the WallCAP WallGIS is now available on @ads-update.bsky.social! Every feature of Hadrian’s Wall has a record in the WallGIS with detailed info & spatial data, which can all be searched/viewed online! shorturl.at/FSr2z #Archaeology 🏺

We have several PhDs working alongside the REMADE team. Rose Karpinski is looking at Iron Age copper alloys from the Upper & Middle Thames Valley, working in collaboration with @ashmoleanmuseum.bsky.social. Check out her project here: research.reading.ac.uk/remade/progr... 🏺 #Archaeology #IronAge

The team has a busy weekend ahead! Kathryn, our data scientist, is off to the CAA UK (data & digital #archaeology) conference in Canterbury. Owen, our finds specialist, is heading to King's Lynn to analyse medieval lead with Lynn Museum & the Medieval Ritual Landscapes project.

Team day in the lab, looking over copper alloy finds from Silchester #Roman town. We were being quizzed on brooch identification by Owen, the REMADE finds specialist. Many of these finds have already been chemically analysed by the project (non destructive pXRF & tiny samples too) 🏺 #Archaeology

REMADE is looking at the composition of Roman & early medieval copper alloy artefacts from across the UK. We are finding stories of reuse & recycling, & interesting craft choices. Learn more about the project & team here: research.reading.ac.uk/remade/, & follow us for updates! 🏺 #archaeology
