Also works by Pablo Picasso that got the backlash™️

Museu de l'Art Prohibit seemed to be relevantly low on tourists which meant my visit was very quiet. seeing actually damaged art works was surreal as well

Okay so went to the strangest museum in Barcelona I've ever really been in. Museum of forbidden art works

@MisrememberedY it was slashed deliberately and its been left like it (for now!)

@GeneralRhivous Did they leave it damaged to show the reaction to the piece (assuming it was slashed deliberately)?

saving this for a cosy day in

Have you seen the Mari Lwyd out and about? The Mari Lwyd was once a lively tradition of welcoming the Welsh Hen Galan (or 'the old new year') and has been resurrected in some parts of Wales. The Mari Lwyd - a horse's skull - was carried on a pole and decorated with rosettes and coloured ribbons. During the ceremony, the Mari Lwyd party would go from door to door, singing traditional songs in an attempt to gain entry into the house. Learn more about the Mari Lwyd in this article on our website. 🔗 bit.ly/MariLwydTradit… - 📷 The 'Mari Lwyd' in the Llangynwyd area 🔗 bit.ly/MariLwydAC Via @AmgueddfaCymru

I think being terrible at CV writing is part of my nature

@SarahjayneC88 Anglesey is high on my list!!

Okay, archaeology people, especially Welsh archaeology people - you've got 5 days for a road trip.. where are you heading?

Inspired by my intense need to visit the Cwmystwyth mines near Aberystwyth and Bryn Celli du (which I amazingly still haven't managed to visit) I am actually making the plans to start

A long-awaited revised book will offer an up-to-date account of the Neolithic period in Wales through a detailed exploration of its chambered tombs and monuments nation.cymru/news/new-book-…

Happy Spooky season to fellow zooarchaeologists. Whilst many use this season to look at terrible fake bones I want to highlight some real scary bones. Such as this parasphenoid which looks like a witches broom

If any Romanists can help me, I would like a tiny nugget of information about the new "mega fort" that was discovered in Pembroke, I've seen news articles and a go fund me but no papers or anything (yet!)

However you may feel about the Romans, you have to admire the cojones it took to build Isca Augusta smack dab in the middle of several prominent (and scrappy) Iron Age settlements 😬 Here is a view of Twmbarlwm hillfort from the amphitheatre! Quite a statement #RomanFortThursday

Something beautiful for the weekend! An extraordinary c. 500,000-300,000 year-old Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell. The shell’s central placement has often been described as an example of early artistic intent. Aesthetically pleasing to our modern eye, recent research suggests the handaxe ‘was likely an average utilitarian tool’ in the eyes of the Acheulean toolmaker.

I loved doing this do much

I think we need to consider more of this type of archaeology on display

Perfect time to be playing Valheim I guess

On the following Thursday 28th November I'll be delivering an in-person talk about my @LogastonPress book & selling & signing books 📚 Sarnau lies on the A487 north of Cardigan, Ceredigion - in the shadow of the second largest hillfort in the county: the famous Castell Nadolig!

I've learned today that players in Valheim are noticing their boats missing or flying. The truth - birds (like seagulls) are landing on boats and a bug accidently places the boat under bird control - which means the bird lands on a boat and flies away with it, stealing it.
