Presales open for book to the @Channel4 series Roman Empire by Train. @PenguinUKBooks @theAliceRoberts Link: penguin.co.uk/books/482006/r…
Enormous thanks to @theAliceRoberts and @PaulxCrompton for the opportunity to contribute to Roman Empire by Train (Channel 4) - arranging for the trip to Etruscan site at San Giuliano and to my surprise invited to co-present! tinyurl.com/4x5jm6k ww.sgarp.org
….Including over 500 Doum Palm nuts (8 baskets!) provided for Pharaoh Tutankhamun in his tomb - thank you Dr Salima Ikram salimaikram.com
The Grand Egyptian Museum completely opens today -30,000 objects, many that haven’t been on display before including Tutankhamun’s full tomb! Grateful to be listening to the AUC discussion about what this means for Egyptology!
British tin in Levantine bronze? This is a tremendously exciting study suggesting an interconnected Middle Bronze Age across massive distances!! bit.ly/3YvaRpW
Rare 4,000-year-old Egyptian handprint found. It was discovered by egyptologist Helen Strudwick from @FitzMuseum_UK Congratulations! bbc.com/news/articles/… #Egypt #Egyptology #discovery
There has been a lot of debate over who Egtved Girl was, as isotope analysis indicates they travelled regularly. Were they a foreign bride, an itinerant ritual specialist, or perhaps a wool trader? We may never know for sure. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2…

Very sad day. Remembered with love and gratitude
Professor Lord Colin Renfrew, former Disney Professor of Archaeology and founding Director of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, has sadly died aged 87. Read the full tribute in honour of Colin, who will be deeply missed. arch.cam.ac.uk/news/professor…
Fantastic Day 1 at Bodies of Knowledge conference! Detailed field diaries of Reis Sayyid Ahmed Sayyid Diraz reveal his archaeological knowledge that informed Reisner at Giza and other sites. universiteitleiden.nl/en/nvic/events…
@AntiquityJ Lots of space for yurts (and horses) - interesting that 60% of space for nomadic quotient to the community/groups that visited (seasonally?)
Challenging one rather sentimental stereotype about #AncientEgypt... 🙀
Today, cats are favoured family pets, proudly living lives of luxury within many of our homes. And, if we look back to the distant past, it might initially seem that the ancient Egyptians felt the same way. However, Egyptologist @EgyptMcr suggests that's not quite the case.
Lovely way to spend a transit half-hour - Athens Airport museum (Upper Level by Gate B) has local finds from Neolithic to Byzantine!
What’s the surface like on your stone cube @kirstylilley ? Microtraces of lithic scraper tool?

Very intriguing greywacke ‘libation dish’ at the MET today - combination of ankh and ka signs - specified as 1st Dynasty but no provenance… and ‘libation’?? (MET 19.2.16)
Walking through streets of the Nubian village of Elephantine on a hot sunny day. Some of the houses are still built using mudbricks like in ancient Egypt and the streets are not wider. This street level view is entirely missing in archaeological publications. #streetlife #egypt
We’re back in the 4th millennium BCE for our chat this month with the very relatable Chris Fowler @ArchaeologyNCL on biological & social kin systems indicated by aDNA from skeletal remains at Hazelton North chambered tomb in the Cotswolds! @HCAatEdinburgh bit.ly/3vjLkEC
@Quesna4 @w_carruthers Really looking forward to this! Thank-you for reposting @Quesna4 ! Loving the book @w_carruthers - great research into the full story behind the archaeology, biases in the record and the modern legacy.
Soon also in print! Thanks to all contributors! @fkeshk @EgyptMcr
Coming out in print this month: our special issue on postcolonial theory in #Egyptology with the @SpringerAnthro @SpringerNature journal Archaeologies @uroshmatic #postcolonial #decolonial @archaeologyEAA
@NErbSatullo And even more confusing when an archaeologist is reported finding dinosaur tracks!! bbc.com/news/uk-englan….
