It's always a joy working with the brilliant CHP team on the Castleton/Hope Project. I can't express my admiration for the volunteers, students, and community who've kept it thriving for over a decade—excited for the next season of discovery! Pictured: @kelseyshawn.bsky.social, onsite barista

There’s something extraordinary about this otherwise pretty standard Late Bronze Age axehead: A human fingerprint. A real, visible and tangible connection to someone from 3000 years ago. If that doesn’t give you goosebumps, idk what will. 🥹 #FindsFriday Link to record: finds.org.uk/database/art...
Photo of a Bronze Age socketed axe head with a zoomed in thumbnail of a finger print on one of the faces towards the blade edge. The axe is dark green with oxidation and the surface of the blade edge has been lost.
