The main rule of excavation is, however big the area of investigation, there's always an interesting archaeological feature disappearing under the edge of the trench #Durotriges25
A large archaeological feature, probably a pit, quarry or working hollow, filled with dark grey, charcoal-filled soil, at the edge of the area of investigation

A few #Mesopotamian - #Iranian favourites from the Brussels Art & History museum. The choir of figurines is definitely the pick of the bunch! #archaeology

Israel has obliterated the mausoleum of Simon Peter, the Apostle of Christ, in Shama, southern Lebanon. A sacred site that has stood for over 2,000 years, now lies in ruins. This is not “self-defense”. This is a war crime and a crime against history.

Since I missed #NationalIllustrationDay2024 , here is my contribution - a selection of unpainted late 4th millennium Uruk sherds from Kani Shaie, #Kurdistan and some beautiful painted cups from the early 3rd millennium there. A lot changed in only 300 years! #archaeology
