ALT Front cover of the book 'Iron Age Wetland Deposition: Case studies from Wales and Scotland'. The title appears on a blue banner, which also shows it is volume 1 of the Archaeology of Prehistoric Ireland and Britain Series. The rest of the cover shows an artefact photo of 4 gold Iron Age torcs.
The fabulous poster for the Norwich Castle Museum Snettisham exhibition in 1991. Behold just one of the torc hoards. Iron Age pits don’t get much better than that 🤩 (I’m assuming this is a @PhotoWebb snap??)

The Bass of Inverurie, standing within a cemetery at the southern end of Inverurie in Aberdeenshire: all that remains of a motte and bailey castle built by the Earls of Garioch in the 1100s and used by Robert the Bruce in May 1308. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/i…
ALT The Bass of Inverurie. The image shows two carved stone standing in grass in the foreground and then an open grassy area leading to an area covered in gravestones. Beyond the gravestones is a tall steep sided grassy mound with a path leading around one end of it to the top. The scene is in grey light.

A copper celestial globe by Christoph Schissler the Elder made in 1575, Augsburg, Germany. It is important not only for its scientific value but also it’s rarity. It is the oldest and only known type of 16th c globe in Portugal #findsfriday #Sintra #NationalPalace #history

This eerie & very rare image shows the face of an Iron Age British man. It dates to between 50-20BC and was found in a cremation burial near #Welwyn, #Hertfordshire, #England. It was one of three small bronze models of men's faces that were the decoration on a wooden bucket.

#FindsFriday: Amazingly, even some wood survived on this early medieval Anglo Saxon iron-framed bucket we excavated for @HS2ltd from the stunning and remarkably rare C5-6th burial ground at Wendover, Buckinghamshire: hs2.org.uk/building-hs2/arch…
