Amy Baker @antoninewallblues.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I'm lucky enough to work in the same place as my favourite ever Roman artefact, this adorable sausage owl. Small but mighty, I often open his box in the store to say hi. But now I've been allowed to put him on display (!), so all the world (all visitors to Falkirk) can appreciate him. 170
Amy Baker @antoninewallblues.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I love my job. I might be a Roman archaeologist, but my focus is craft, industry and tools, and the opportunity to also work with modern collections and a social history rapidly falling into memory is a proper privilege. Also look at this massive drill used in shipbuilding! 190
Reposted by Amy BakerFelix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I routinely see kids products that come in the 2 options "Dinosaur" or "Unicorn"- which apart from the obvious, annoys me because one gets science and one gets mythology. This could easily be fixed by swapping dinosaurs with dragons, or, hear me out, aggressively marketing Cambrian sea life to girls 461446332

Amy Baker @antoninewallblues.bsky.social · 12/04/2026So so tired today as I huddle with @ontosgames.co.uk in a motorway service station hotel outside Peterborough with a room full of racks, banners and boxes, but what a great Salute!

Amy Baker @antoninewallblues.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Was working in Larbert yesterday so took a walk up to Tappoch Broch in the evening. Not too overgrown and nice to see lintels and stairs in place. 0163
