The Angel of the Annunciation seen at the opening of the new Art Gallery at the Abbey Museum of Art & Archaeology in Australia yesterday. Some beautiful old masters, many out for the first time here.

Arriving #home a day later, due to the political strikes we had in Finland last week.
A very happy surprise was to received this GORGEOUS special issue number of #PostMedieval
I’ve already read many of my co-authors, like @druerie online when the articles first came out. Now I look forward to reading the rest and delving deeper, with the physical copy in hand. #medieval #dance #religion #theology #historicdance #catsofmastodon
And following on here are the Staythorpe workings. The most extensive of the three, together with surviving sluice gates. #River #RiverTrent #Embankments #Archaeology #PostMedieval
Not everyday that you identify a hitherto unrecognised class of archaeological site. I present to you, the workings from which materials to build #river #embankments were extracted. Shallow, sub-rectangular cuttings. Three examples I identified today at #Fiskerton #Rolleston and #Staythorpe on the #RiverTrent #Notinghamshire. Interesting, one working per #parish, suggesting #local #community involvement. Ground #photographs with #LiDAR plots. #Archaeology #PostMedieval
