An iconic artefact of early medieval Britain - the handpin. Manufacturing evidence v rare , but Gemma Cruickshanks of the National Museums Scotland has outlined quite an amazing stat. 10 prev known moulds from emed Scotland, but 11 from Rhynie - more than doubling the known examples😍

This evening! Tune in if you can!

Not Pictish but should be immensely interesting- if you are in Aberdeen come along- all welcome! Just turn up on the day

Come join us at Archaeology at UoA _ aDna, isotopes, Picts, Vikings, Zooarch, Pollen, and much more!!

I wonder who asked our Twitter team to post this….😂😂😂

When we invite you to come to a meeting in Aberdeen University of Aberdeen in the winter ( and you express concern about the weather ) we are actually inviting you to the sunniest place in the UK !

This will definitely be worth a listen. Aberdeen University professor Gordon Noble is an expert in the history of the Picts, but he’s also a terrific communicator, as he proved when he appeared recently on Prof Alice Roberts’ “Digging for Britain” programme!

Minimum wage for a 40hr week in the UK is now: £23,795

(£22,308 for 37.5hrs)

Catching (caught?!) up with those archaeology starting salaries for roles that often require a degree and/or 6-months experience ☹️

Very happy to say that the SAF digitising project is back underway and we now have volume 2 available for reading & downloading!

This 1970 volume includes papers on long barrows, long cairns and (long) rectilinear enclosures so there's something for all the family.

We are in the final stages of writing up the Rhynie/Tap o' Noth/ Carin More excavations conducted between 2011-22. There will be so many exciting new finds to consider - but one of my favourite is the locally made pottery we found at the Craw Stane complex and on Tap o' Noth

I have questions…👀

It is a gloriously Aberdeen thing that because the temperature has skyrocketed to, um, 11, every single customer in the coffee shop was ordering an iced beverage.
