You may have seen our post from a few days ago where we discovered that, due to the extremely hot weather, the rooms and corridors on the mansion site were reappearing on the grass before our very eyes! It looks even more spectacular from the air, with much more detail visible.

Containing over 5kg of gold and 3,500 individual items, the Staffordshire Hoard is the largest Anglo-Saxon hoard unearthed in the UK and was probably buried in the 7th century AD. It was discovered #onthisday in 2009.

For the past two years I’ve been running this twitter but now it’s time to say goodbye! After a summer of excavating I’m off to @school_of_arch to do my masters! My personal account is @iamERS where I still tweet about archaeology and history. 🏺⛏🏛

We made you a thread of 31 kick-ass, amazing, pioneering, TROWELBLAZING* women, because that is the sort of thing we do. More importantly, we want everyone to know that the earth sciences are the sort of thing women do. ;) twitter.com/trowelblazers/…

A display of noses once used to "repair" Roman and Greek marble statues in the 19th century. The Nasothek (Latin for “nose” and Greek for “container”) was born when the fake noses were removed in the interest of authenticity. At the Copenhagen’s Glyptotek art museum, Denmark.

#Pompeii The thorax was crushed by a block of stone, the body hurled back by the force of the pyroclastic flow, in a desperate attempt to flee the fury of the eruption. The first victim which emerges in the site of the new excavations of Regio V, does so in this dramatic position

15,000 tiny turquoise tiles decorate this Aztec serpent, made around 500 years ago in Mexico. Double-headed serpents (known as maquizcoatl) were the bearers of bad omens
