The non-profit I run that excavates historic Romany Gypsy sites to teach present-day Romany people archaeology skills could do with a few more pro archaeologists for 16th - 22nd in the New Forest!
Can pay a decent wage though accommodation is down to you, so local is better!

Read a little more about this badge on the #MeRit website: research.reading.ac.uk/medie…
For #FindsFriday possibly the first pilgrim badge from Poland documented @findsorguk from the UK! During data collection for #MeRit, this Virgin and Child badge has been attributed to Góra Chełmska, near Koszalin. Such badges previously known as far west as the Zeeland coast, NL.

Late medieval strap-ends with moulded St Christopher (and Christ Child) are often found broken and incomplete. But, tantalisingly, sometimes the religious figures seem to have been extracted deliberately for use as amuletic figurines. #MedRit Images @findsorguk #FindsFriday

If you like Brigit as a ‘Celtic goddess’, knock yourself out. But there is far stronger evidence for #Brigit as an early medieval saint, an actual woman “pushing against the grain of an elitist and patriarchal society”. A MUST read for #Brigid ‘s Day muse.jhu.edu/article/918428/…
