🏺🗃️ Not sure why this is getting more attention today, but happy to see it shared again! And thrilled that Yusra will of course be part of our #ExcavatingGarrod project, re-examining archives for new insights on Garrod's work on #Neanderthals, and her collaborations & wider networks with women.

My brilliant MOLA colleagues are back with another Pint of Archaeology! Join them at The Roebuck in Southwark next Monday (10th March) @5:30pm. There may even be a new set of our Pint of Archaeology beermats to snap up if your home or office needs some new (and very educational) coasters 👀👀

A poster advertising the event. It lists the location as The Roebuck, 50 Great Dover St, SE1 4YG, and the date and time as Monday 10th March 5:30pm-8pm.

Apple TV has been trying to force me to watch Prime Target by starting the episode as soon as I finish anything else I am watching. If they'd just made the trailer actually representative of the show I would have watched it willingly... As it turns out it is a RIOT & I recommend it 😂

Spotted this rather bizarre comment in a Guardian article about supermarkets. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I rather hope that he doesn't pass that attitude onto his children (and who knows if one or both of them are girls!)

Devastated to discover I've been knocked off my perch as one of Christ Church's "notable alumni" (according to Google) by one @medievaljews.bsky.social probably not a loss to the world as no one was sure how I'd got there in the first place...
