Today I found my first pawprints in #incunabula 🐈😻 Sermones Thesauri novi de tempore. Strassburg, 1497. Metropolitan Seminary Library in Warsaw. #earlymodern #twitterstorians

The foreshore is covered with bones, mostly animal bones, pigs, sheep, cows and horses, from domestic waste, centuries of dinners. If you look carefully at the bones you can often see cut marks and holes in shoulder blades where the joints were hung from butcher's hooks.

Boar or pig tusks from the Thames foreshore. Older pig breeds looked very different to the large pink pigs of today - the closest to a medieval pig is a Tamworth. Pigs owned by the Hospitallers of St Antony, a charitable order, were allowed to roam the streets of medieval London.

A quaint little fragment of pottery picked up on the Thames this morning at low tide. A cat on a bike observed by another cat (I think it's a cat anyway!). Does anyone recognise the design? #mudlarking #mudlark
