@neil_burridge That would be awesome, as i might have mentioned before i’m from Cornwall so I’ll definitely hit you up next time i’m down there (live elsewhere now sadly)

@WillOdling1 Come and make an axe i would swap for a pot if your ever down in Cornwall

Can you tell that i really like making bronze age pots

@neil_burridge Thanks very much Neil

@WillOdling1 wow thats amazing

two beautiful mogpilled parents reviewing their choppedgem son

Nice

@neil_burridge The pic is on my old phone but yours is on display in the museum still

Not bad for a first attempt with no practice the idea was to show how it was made not expecting to get a finished item. Gold is a delight to work once made into foil and laid on beeswax and worked with bone tool and a hair dryer 😅

Many years ago i filmed the video now on display at the Dorset museum prehistoric gallery, i started with 2 gold bars of 18 grams. Talk about being thrown in the deep end i even had to run down the road to get stronger glasses as i could not see so fine any more, see comments

@DanDavisWrites Thanks very much ☺️

@WillOdling1 Nice work!

Made a beaker pot, going to have a go at the Try Menhir handled beaker soon

@neil_burridge Its really good fun isn’t it, especially making pots for bronze casting

@WillOdling1 Awesome ! i love making pots and have not made any for years but feel the calling

First attempt at the Try menhir handled beaker

Beaker pots update: I made 2 more

And on the major lunar standstill the moon would set directly down the middle of this potential alignment into the valley into the sea, with the sun on the summer solstice setting into the sea on the side of the valley. Tagging @AmandaChadburn as I think you’d be into this

Submitted my undergrad dissertation yesterday, on landscape and skyscape of a large bowl barrow on the North Cornish coastline. I found that the barrow has likely been positioned to give a framed view of the sea… 1/

@archae_delle Oh no, ok one sec

@WillOdling1 I know, and I love that, but it won’t let me access at work 🥲

Friends with institutional access or can otherwise access this journal that I am unable to access at this time - could someone please send me a PDF of: Butler, S. 2014. The Roman Brooches from Nornour, Isles of Scilly. Cornish Archaeology 53, 1-80 I will be most grateful!

I like brutalism in theory but in practice its commonly seen in multi story car parks

@AdamMIbbotson @DrFrancisYoung

@DrFrancisYoung To be fair, the earthen barrows of the Neolithic are arguably nicer places to live than Barrow-in-Furness…

Finally, someone is prioritising our nation’s prehistoric funerary infrastructure

@timdaw Just occurred to me i can’t think of a single stone circle which is ever at risk of flooding. Very innovative of the neolithic folk

Flood alert for the Stonehenge Visitor Centre!

Long term goal of drinking some mead out of a beaker that i made and fired was achieved today. Cheers
