Thank you to Sabrina Autenrieth for a fascinating presentation on Bronze Age river deposition as a potential burial practice, and the comparison of this with grave goods in burial contexts on land. ⚓️

Garry Momber’s presentation showed us thousands of flints and organic materials discovered in the Solent, dating as far back as the Neolithic period. From this information we can see the continued use of the rivers over thousands of years and track the pace of coastal change. 🤯

The Palace Green Library gave us access to their special collection of nautical themed materials, which included plans of rivers and vessels, the collection of seaweed for use in agriculture, contemporary artwork and accounts of beached whales! 🐋

This afternoon we had a fascinating riverside tour with Gary Bankhead, focusing on life in Durham throughout the centuries and diving deeper into his underwater work at Elvet Bridge and beyond. 🤿 We even had some feathered friends join in! 🦆🦢

A mystery (to me!) for #FindsFriday. Three similar objects recorded through Portable Antiquities & Treasure. Does anyone recognise them? They seem to have decoration on both sides and no apparent means of attachment...

Fresh out of trench one is this delightful Georgian fob seal complete with mermaid intaglio. She’s seemingly admiring her reflection in a hand mirror. If it’s a re-used intaglio depicting a siren, known as for luring travellers, which period would it date from? 🤔
