I wrote an open access paper about the hinges found at Sutton Hoo. In the Early Medieval period, hinges are usually simple, and utilitarian. In Mound 1, the hinges are complex, and playful. 'An Assessment of the Hinges from Sutton Hoo, Mound 1' - digital.kenyon.edu/perejournal/vo…

#Roman copper-alloy cylindrical padlock. The interior mechanism was iron and is now too badly corroded to identify. The lock plate is a thin, circular plate which attaches over the open end of the housing to seal in the locking mechanism. #YorkRomans #archaeology

@DrStruthers You too. The talk was really good - everyone was very engaged. I don't know how I ended up with a seat at the front!

At the Museum of Making in Derby, to see @DrStruthers give a talk. There will be a scones. I might tweet about it.

@wargamesodyssey @SirGrentch @EquipmentRoman @britishmuseum 'Copper alloy' is used by archaeologists because very few objects are 'true' zinc brasses or tin bronzes. Zinc, tin and lead are found in varying combinations in copper alloys. Groups of similar objects can have surprising variations.

@SirGrentch @EquipmentRoman @britishmuseum I’m with you then, not that I mind changing terminology though

The copper-alloy Coolus-type helmet from the Walbrook in London, possibly dating to the earliest Roman military occupation of the site. Now in @britishmuseum. For an analysis of the helmet see Kaminski and Sim's LAMAS paper: tinyurl.com/5bnf6ajx

A useful guide to preparing ultramarine, with pictures (following Cennini).

'Oooooh......shiny!!' I feel judged.

@ThomasSmaberg I just feel like each generation should get to decide which hat is the best. And how many centuries has it been since we actually counted the cows? There aren't *any* in the Buckingham Palace enclosure.

@ThomasSmaberg I think you need a bunch of under-kings to decide that you're the over-king, based on a number of factors including how many cows you have, and how impressive your hat looks on the battlefield.

Well, I had assumed that the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha would have claim to such a title!

I thought this would get more traction. Too niche?

Now that it’s been declared treasure, I’m excited to finally share this incredible hoard that I was so lucky to help excavate. The c.1st century AD Llantrisant Fawr vessel hoard found near Usk, Monmouthshire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 We named the ox, Bovril 🥰 #FindsFriday southwalesargus.co.uk/news/23489170.…
