This year's dig at Falerii Novi continued the excavation of a monumental building found in 2025. The new trench revealed vaulted rooms, staircases, paved roads and traces of ancient metalworking. 🏛️🔍 @stephenkay.bsky.social @emlynkd.bsky.social @ics.bsky.social Read here: bsr.ac.uk/stories-from...

I’ve been away from my personal socials for a while and suddenly feel very out of the loop with everything in #Archaeology and #Classics. Is @bsky.app still where the good conversations are happening? I’d love to reconnect with the community again. Fill me in, what’s been going on?

Pretty much every year, at around this time, I advertise the JACT Durham Greek and Latin Summer School – so this post will come as no surprise to anyone! I was 17 when I first went to the Dur…

So. Yep. I’ve just made a rather significant unsubstantiated claim in something I’ve just written & I’m pretty sure I’m on mark, but I need to do some digging (pardon the pun) to confirm 😑 #Etruscan #Archaeology
I’m trying to establish if any residue analyses have been conducted on #Etruscan heron class plates! If anyone knows of anything along these lines please let me know.

Another 500 words of theoretical / philosophical musings written this evening. I now need to sleep as I’m starting to ponder on the ontological meaning of life & that’s a rabbit hole nobody wants to go down 🐇 🕳️ = 🤪 #Ontology #NewMaterialism #AssemblageTheory #Archaeology #Etruscan #Cerveteri

Ooof! I hope @e-jgraham.bsky.social is braced to receive some bizarre theoretical musings on the affects generated by Caeretan water-bird motifs, because I’ve literally dumped my brain onto paper …. and I’m not actually hating it 🤪 #Etruscan #Pottery
Having written 500 words of (fingers crossed) ‘not absolute crap’ this evening AND having mapped out a clear direction for what I’m writing … I’m off to bed before my brain thinks of something that kiboshes the lot! An #OCD brain can be a great asset, but also a bloody curse!!! #PhD #EtruscanStuff

I was determined to keep this feed ‘academic’, but alas I have failed & need to talk about my current obsession with ice hockey 🏒 & the love story between two fictional characters that has consumed my every waking moment throughout December #HeatedRivalry

After a pretty crappy two days in London where all my plans were scuppered, I’m trying to me positive 🤪 Still, had a not unpleasant 1st experience of the @britishlibrary.bsky.social today!
Mood is starting to lift on account of some choice purchases 😬
Well that was a bloody pointless trip to London! The @britishmuseum.bsky.social isn’t re-opening until tomorrow afternoon & there’s no guarantee that the Study Rooms will be open at all! It’s nobody’s fault, but I’m still fuming! Back to the @ics.bsky.social I suppose to at least salvage something
Made it back to wet & windy Yorkshire after a lovely 2 days in Oxford with the #OOCDTP cohort. Looking forward to heading to Cambridge in spring. Spent a bit too much time in @blackwells.bsky.social but managed to pick up this cracker! #EtruscanResearch
