Currently writing the report for my @gerda-henkel-stiftung.de "Surviving the Crisis Years" grant, centred around our excavations of a LBA-EIA fortress in the Caucasus. It's amazing what we've accomplished in two years--so proud of my team! Photo: @shmills.bsky.social excavating the fortress gate.

Perhaps the oldest known representation of a bird, carved in mammoth ivory, from Hohle Fels cave, Germany. Aurignacian, about 40,000 years old.

Colorful beads were very popular in the early #medieval period, particularly during the 6th and 7th century. This necklace was found in the grave of a woman in Donaueschingen-Neudingen. It consists of more than 50 beads made of amber and glass. Dating ca 525-550 AD. 🧵1/2 📷 me 🏺 #archaeology

A close-up view of a necklace. The necklace is circular and composed of numerous small, beads strung on a thin, light-colored metal wire.
The beads exhibit a variety of shapes and colors, including orange-red amber beads. They are predominantly present at the top sections of the circle. There are also yellow,turquoise, blue, green, and multicoloured beads
The arrangement of beads appears uniform, strung in a continuous, circular pattern. The metal wire that holds the beads is visible. The background is a plain, dark gray/black color, drawing attention to the necklace's design and colors.

The commodification of human remains perpetuates a dark legacy of colonialism, exploitation and dehumanisation. We need to see decisive action to end such practices and respectfully repatriate stolen remains to their rightful resting places.

A tiny enamelled skeleton stands ready with dart and hourglass on a background of hair in this gold mourning slide - this could have been worn on a ribbon. The skeleton is flanked by the initials of the deceased in gold thread. 17th cent. From Holburne Museum #skystorians #mementomori

An elliptical mourning slide made from gold. The slide is decorated with a tiny skeleton placed on a background of woven hair. The skeleton holds an arrow and a hourglass. A tiny amount of yellow on the hourglass suggests that the sand has run out.

A colourful reminder of mortality in this gold ring which has a skull and crossbones shaped bezel, enamelled in white. The skull is bordered by rubies - which look quite a bit more purple here than they do in real life. c.1550-75. From V&A #skystorians #mementomori

A white enamelled skull stares out from a gold mourning ring. The skull is surrounded by a ring of rubies which appear quite dark in this image.

The reverse of the bezel of a gold mourning ring which is enamelled with a floral design. The flower has six bold yellow petals which appear quite striking against the white enamel.
