  2. A woman buried in Bronze Age Poland has teeth that say wheat and bones that say millet, decades apart. New isotope work pushes Europe’s earliest millet consumption back over a century. #Archaeology #BronzeAge #Bioarchaeology anthropology.net/p/millet-reac

  3. A war memorial in Yorkshire turns out to be carved from a missing Neolithic megalith. Zircon dating just proved a 19th-century antiquary’s forgotten guess right, 150+ years later. #Archaeology #DevilsArrows #Neolithic anthropology.net/p/devils-arro

  4. Ireland's first people may have walked in... from Wales. 🤯

  5. I'm doing one more check in my late Dad's loft - amongst the lagging, dust and detritus - to check for any small old items or keepsakes.

    I'm doing it in zones and bagging finds.

    No, I won't be using a trowel, taking section drawings or camping in the back garden.

  22. Low-cost LED technology helps archaeologists see hidden layers before excavation

    A low-cost imaging system using 16 wavelengths of light could help archaeologists spot hidden layers and materials before excavation removes them. Researchers from Aarhus University and Moesgaard Museum in Denmark developed the LED multispectral imaging system, or LEDMSI, to reveal differences missed by normal color images...
