This #InternationalWomensDay I’m reading for a new project & learned of this glass #intaglio showing a female figure, maybe the Virgin Mary. Likely made in #Constantinople but influenced by #Sasanian art from further east, it ended up in an #AngloSaxon grave in Saltwood, #Kent.

The PAS database has a few Easter egg records including the one ring finds.org.uk/database/artef… Note findspot 😉

J R R Tolkien was born #onthisday in 1892. His books took inspiration from the Anglo-Saxons, like the inscription on this mysterious gold ring ow.ly/8T5830n8X5q

Can't. Stop. Watching. Today, 26 bishops walked past our dig site. TWENTY SIX. One of them even paused to say 'blessings on your work'. Think we've reached peak Lindisfarne... #LindisfarneDig

Twitter tells me it’s #WorldEmojiDay. #AngloSaxon art features an array of expressive #faces (#human and #animal!) so this gives me an excuse to post some from @britishmuseum today. Here’s a 5th century button brooch from #Wiltshire 😐

Archaeological discovery involves many technologies: aerial photography, geophysics, LiDAR, and yet in the Bend of The Boyne, one of the most intensely investigated landscapes in Ireland, there is still huge potential for discovery. This is only visible because of the drought.

The heatwave is believed to have led to the discovery of a possible henge close to Newgrange in Co Meath. It's thought it could have been built 500 years after Newgrange, which dates from 3,000 BC. | bit.ly/2L0sERb

Irish 'Druids' are an Early Medieval Christian invention. Also, there was never such a thing as a 'Celtic' Church. While I'm at it, there's no such thing as 'Celts'. They're invented too. And no, you don't have an inside track into #CeltsTreesHealingEnya. Feck off with yourself.
