The Lowther 06 #hogback. Captured via #3d #photogrammetry a few days ago. Some unusual carvings on this one according to @AS_Corpus! Some nice tegulation still remains #earlymediaeval #viking @GovanStones

Thanks for the question! This is Glatton 1a (St Nicholas' church, Glatton, Huntingdonshire), a fragment of a cross-shaft. (See Plunket 1984, pl. 11 for a drawing of it)

For #StandingStoneSunday, why not marvel at our Sun Stone, an early-medieval carved stone from the lost last kingdom of the Welsh Old North. We think it might have been recarved from a Bronze-Age monument and made into a standing cross in the Viking-Age Kingdom of Strathclyde!

1. Last summer, I went in search of #earlymedieval stone sculpture in the former kingdoms of Northumbria, Pictland, Strathclyde, and Mercia. It was christened, the ‘rock and road’ trip by @AS_Corpus

My favorite version of this motif is on the Melbury Bubb font from @AS_Corpus sketchfab.com/3d-models/melb…
..and the snake-killing-deer was not unfamiliar in Viking-period Scandinavia either.

Very sad news indeed. Rosemary played an instrumental and long-lived role in the Society, and she will be deeply missed by colleagues and friends.
It is with great sadness that we learnt of the death of Professor Dame Rosemary Cramp. Rosemary was hugely influential in archaeology and academia as the first female Professor at Durham, and was instrumental in the founding of the archaeology department. durham.ac.uk/news-events/lat…

Beautifully put.
I never met Prof Rosemary but she has been an inspiration and model for so many of us...besides her contribution to archaeology and history.

Professor Dame Rosemary Cramp leaves an incredible legacy - including an integral role in the excavations carried out on Hirta by Durham University between 1986 - 90. A justly celebrated Archaeologist, and a truly inspiring woman.

Have just heard of the death of Prof Rosemary Cramp, medieval archaeologist, first woman professor at Durham, founder of Studies in Anglo-Saxon Sculpture. One of the formidable foremothers. RIP. durham.ac.uk/news-events/lat… – at York, England

My heart is heavy with the loss of Dame Professor Rosemary Cramp. My first tutor at University. Someone who always made me smile. Like the Venerable Bede’s sparrow, she has now flown through the warmth of the great hall and out through the other door into whatever lies beyond.
