Awful, and exactly why I never give any info on any of my locations. Some people just want to ruin everything

New Ancients Ep! We're talking about the insane topic that is Glacial Archaeology & the Holy Grail of this discipline: Ötzi the Iceman! A real privilege to interview Lars Pilø about Ötzi, plus his team's amazing work in Norway Secrets Of The Ice 🎙️ podfollow.com/the-ancients/v…

Lars Pilo, our co-director, is on the new "The Ancients" podcast, released today. We talk about all things Ötzi, and especially why the original story of how he was preserved just cannot be correct.

This one is really, really interesting - but it was found more than 45 years ago if I am not misinformed. Has anything like it surfaced since in the UK (or elsewhere)? I'm keen to know!

Another fandom quoting Jon Steinberg talking about story. Welcome friends to Black Sails fans’ favorite hobby. 🖤💙

This will be a really good one, soon to be released - in November! cambridge.org/core/books/tow…

I haven't logged in for ages but given the news from this hellhole lately, I have no reason to do so again. Peace out. ✌🏻

A gold-foil figure from AD 650-990 Aska in the Swedish province of Östergötland. 30 figures were discovered here, more than anywhere else in the region. This suggests Aska was an important centre of power in early medieval Scandinavia. 🆓 buff.ly/4bkf84m

Another Gotlandic Viking-period favourite for #FindsFriday: Three unseparated Borre-style brooches from Smiss in Eke parish. Found 1869 in a deposit of scrap metal and metal working tools (including a steelyard balance). samlingar.shm.se/object/EFB05AD… (📸: Christer Åhlin, CC BY 4.0)

Quick run through the styles and development of viking oval brooches and their parents and grandparents in the Vendel era. #vikings

The late Dr. Ryan Foster's wonderful chapter in the The Viking Age in Scotland book is free for the next six months. I asked my fellow editors and Colleen if we could ask Edinburgh University Press for this and they and EUP kindly agreed. Rest in peace, Ryan. edinburghuniversitypress.com/media/resource…
