Always look for the helpers. A niche but really beautiful way to help ease a horrible situation.

Returning some objects to permanent display from a short term loan today meant that I got to hold this meteoric iron bead - one of only 8 or so (from Gerzeh in Egypt) and considered to be the earliest worked iron (c.5000 years old) found anywhere in the world. Absolutely incredible.

Loved these Roman roof tegulae at Yorkshire Museum - replete with makers' marks, factory stamps, hobnail boot marks and dog footprints. A delightful category of object because of these marks; such an immediate connection to people and animals in the past. Guildford's even had goat hoofprints :)

Pure essence of horse. One of my top ten objects in any museum anywhere in the world (Stanwick horse mount, Yorkshire Museum)

An iron age British horse harness mount in the shape of the face of a very solemn and wise horse, made of bronze

For anyone coming to @tag45.bsky.social next week-end, you can catch my presentation on "Excavating the Museum Drawer" (yes, this very drawer) at Session 17, and see what all this Archaeological Ephemera business is about! tag2024.wordpress.com/2024/09/05/s... #ArchaeologicalEphemera

As someone who has also experienced this kind of loss, these collections always feel particularly powerful. @poisonchallis.bsky.social expresses this so beautifully here. Thank you for sharing it, Debbie.x

Now that I'm on here, I can start shouting about all the exciting things I've been up to! Like the Archaeological Ephemera project at the Petrie Museum - looking at the bits and bobs left behind by early archaeologists and museum workers, the stories they can tell us, and what to do with them.

The @uniofexeter.bsky.social convened a panel to advise the university on how to use carbon offsets in its ambitious net zero target. Our conclusion is that all offsets should be ditched. We very much hope other universities will do likewise. theconversation.com/we-have-offi...

theconversation.com

We have officially advised our university to ditch carbon offsets – and focus on cutting emissions

Your organisation should probably ditch offsets too.

Hanging out with some incredible #Conservation colleagues today working on some of our #Cartonnage collection, including UC45924 which has visible layers of woven linen matting. Always a privilege to watch experts at work consolidating these objects for long-term care.

Some personal highlights from the @britishmuseum.bsky.social #HewLocke exhibition - extremely thought provoking & particular curatorial joy to be had from the storage media on display (plus faux MDF??). Locke's voice gave excellent question prompts via speakers and printed post-its #WhatHaveWeHere
