I am always amazed by the skill of potters & love a good replica so this oil lamp by the super talented Gilbert Burroughs ticks many boxes! A Loeschcke type IV, with the central relief decoration depicting glass blowers (dates c.40-100 CE)... #archaeology #romanarchaeology #pottery

Image shows upper face of a replica roman oil lamp. In the central circle is a depication of roman glass blowers around a glass furnace. The lamp is a terra sigillata copy and covered in an orange coloured slip, with slight sooting at the nozzle edge.

A great day. While many papers reflected on, showcased or utlised in new ways Dr Kay Hartley's work on #roman mortaria, others delved into chronology, typology, use & shared symbolism. Certainly lots to ponder! #archaeology #pottery thank you all & @sgrp.bsky.social - wolf mosaic was an added bonus!

3 years ago this week I took the #Archaeosexism exhibition to the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists #CIfA conference. Three days of observing & listening to people recounting their expereinces of workplace #sexism & engaging with those rarely 'in the room' for these type of events.

Photograph showing the poster for the archaeosexism exhibition. A blue background with the exhibition title in the top left corner. The rght and centre of the poster is filled with a line drawing of black and yellow lines with a white infill of a woman, side on, holding her hand up in which she hold a trowel. Across the bottom of the poster are the logos of the organisations supporting the exhibition.

Photograph of 5 posters from the exhibition on display. Each poster has a different example of sexism illustrated. The sides of each poster are covered in orange and green post it notes, placed by delegates if they have witnessed or expreinced that type of behavior in an arhaeological setting.

As perhaps a 'New Antiquarian' [ditch the awful name, please?] I'm not sure what to make of this. In #Archaeology, this isn't a recent thing (& it's more complicated), but I do think academia still isn't sure what to do with learned - but non-academia derived - non-standard research outputs.

Very excited for @laurarichmond.bsky.social today & the launch of 'All My Worldly Joy', it is such a beautifully written personal exploration of maternal mental health & the system women (in Britain) encounter - honestly can't recommend it enough 🩷

The front cover of the book has a cream backgroumd colour with the words All My Worldly Joy written in black, underneath which is an image of a woman in black and lined in gold with gold stars in her body and her hands cradling a line drawing of a baby in utero. The womans head is like a round pink planet with gold planetary rings. Plants and flowers also in line drawn gold are growing behind and around her.

However, for Mrs Verrecchia, like many detectorists, most objects found are not classed as treasure, which, rather than being sent to museums, instead fill up home collection drawers. Now, as the hobby continues to grow in popularity, she wants even more women to get involved.
