Things I have seen in the rubble of Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon over the past week. More up here: instagram.com/p/DWPjaZSjUvM/…

1/ COGAT issued a disgraceful statement regarding the evacuation of an antiquities warehouse in Gaza ahead of bombardment. See COGAT's statement in the second comment. Our response as follows: (Thread)

A @MOLArchaeology Research Team outing to @StJPiccadilly to see the Stories of St James’s Burial Ground exhibition, on until 23 April. Thanks to @LouiseELFowler for the tour, we missed you @blentaye @GuilletheGoonie @FacciaKate !
