Imagine a land with a dozen political parties who all have to work together to make things work, instead of two.

Britain leads the world once more.

Not, incidentally, do we know the conversations the professor may have had with the landowner.

It is, I think, unwise to set up such inter-disciplinary conflicts.

The system we have is half-good - unless we can set up something better we need to make it work.

As we both know, this isn’t an archaeological research project. And I don’t think either of us know the terms of the professor’s agreement with the landowner.

But regardless of that, objects in the ground belong to the owner of that ground, until that law is changed.

Remember, the finder doesn’t own these staters and has no legal control over what happens to them.

So, if you have the right to a well regulated militia, is anyone going to set it up?

“The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not in the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot…”

Mates looking after mates.

Numerous trepanned skulls have been recorded in Brittany.

Beautiful indeed. There’s some wonderful photography in this - beautiful things make beautiful pictures, but they still need skilful camera work to bring it out.
And then, of course, good editing to choose the right pics!

Well, look at everyone rushing to help.

In future, no one will understand the Greenland problem.

They won’t believe that the leader of the free world could be so evil.

And your problem is?

Nothing to do with all those ‘aching men’ then?

They’re living in their own little box, aren’t they? They think murderers on the streets are acceptable, if trained.

Looking good, magister!

I wonder why the publishers choose to use a tiny online platform? Apparently Webex has only about 5% of the market in online presentation.

Thanks Leon! I hadn't heard about this.

This study presents the results of a large-scale isotopic meta-analysis of early medieval England which reveals migration patterns from c AD 400–1100.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It wasn’t a target, it was a commitment, and it wasn’t ambitious.

It was just a failure. And it’s journalism like this that does the damage.

No one cares enough about this to solve it.

Sorry, I hadn’t appreciated the artistry! Lovely stuff.

Combs Do you remember Nitty Nora, the school nurse who came to check small heads for head lice? Vindolanda has a large collection of boxwood hair combs which look remarkably like our nit combs of today.

Here’s another Roman boxwood comb, again very fine, from Vindolanda near Hadrian’s Wall. www.vindolanda.com/comb-with-case

Here’s a report on lice found on a Roman comb historicengland.org.uk/research/res... but the gaps look much smaller than the early medieval combs I’ve seen.

I keep talking about bone, but antler was much stronger, and therefore probably better to work with once you got a technique.
