This time we have some beautiful pieces of #celtic#armrings made out of glass for #FindsFriday.
They date to the middle #LaTène period and show us the artistry and craftmanship of the third century BC.
The coloring, discoloration and clouding of the glass armrings were achieved with special additives such as iron, copper, cobalt, manganese, antimony, lead and tin and the furnace atmosphere.

'I am horrified': Archaeologists are fuming over ancient human relative remains sent to edge of space
News
Scientists are calling the Virgin Galactic mission that carried the bones of #Australopithecus sediba and Homo naledi to the edge of space a major ethical breach.
@NikaShilobod@archaeodons Another rich arsehole (Branson) getting his way without anyone having the presence of mind to say "no" and hit him in the mouth with a rolled newspaper.
So, the Journées du Patrimoine are this week-end ( https://journeesdupatrimoine.culture.gouv.fr/ ) and it's been a few years now that they are the "Journées Européennes du Patrimoine" so the hastag is #JEP2023 . I checked and in English they are the European Heritage Days but the hashtag EHD2023 does not exist.
What's the hashtag ?
Or is it that despite the "European" in the name in fact only the French take part ? (I don't mind tooting in French) @archaeodons#archaeology
This time for #FindsFriday repair & reuse in the #latene Period: Shattered sherds were reused as #spindlewhorls, broken pots repaired with little holes to fix it. Good as new!
During the #EAA2023 in Belfast we gave a workshop on Agent-Based Modeling for Archaeologists as part of an @EUErasmusPlus project. Saxion works with Leiden University, Aarhus University and Landward Research on this.
I really joined seeing the interested participants working diligently through our tutorials, as well as some interesting discussions on #ABM
