One of our newest projects: New Bantu Mosaics, led by @chirikure.bsky.social is up & running now & the photos from the field are glorious! @alicejwilliams.bsky.social @micabjones.bsky.social Find out more at: www.arch.ox.ac.uk/new-bantu-mo...

Photo credit: Dr Alice Williams - a small wooden structure on three legs with straw roof, covering a firepit. there are red and green cloths hanging on a string between two of the structure legs.

Photo credit: Dr Mica Jones. A small stone staircase ascends between two huge rocks. The staircase appears to significantly narrow as it rises so it looks like a squeeze at the top!
