Excavating above the void 🫣
Members of the dig team at Buckspool coastal promontory fort, Pembs, last year walking on the promontory defences (top), above the gaping natural arch 😱 below which will - one day - collapse 😥

The axe is dated to Denmark’s Funnel Beaker Culture, c. 3,100 BC. Axes like this were used by farmers during the period to cut down forests to establish settlements and cultivate the land. It was found during peat digging in 1946.
Two Roman finds from Rottweil (my beautiful hometown 😊): vessels in the shape of boars, dating 2nd century AD. They were used to hold oil.

I have been employed by the State of Baden-Württemberg for 25 years this month, which signifies a quarter-century of work as an archaeologist in museums!
It is a privilege to engage daily with heritage, research, and the stories that connect us to the past. I am looking forward to the years ahead.
Durotriges Dig
New discovery: Archaeologists have uncovered the largest Roman bathhouse complex ever found in the Netherlands, during excavations in the Waalfront district of Nijmegen.

Wow, a rare example of a Neolithic axe with its original handle still preserved! 🤯
Resembling a modern felling axe, it’s amazing to think of this axe being used some 5,200 years-ago!
