@mrundkvist #GoodMorning from Anstey! Today is a peaceful grafting day. Having to work on an article and phoning a venue for rent info. Then trying to remember to beam in for Accordia talks online.
A bilingual inscription from the 2nd c. BC, written on a schist stone, discovered in 1960 in Piedmont. This boundary stone delimitated the land of Acisius "Argantomaterecus". One text in Latin with the Latin alphabet and the second in Gaulish with Gallo-Etruscan alphabet. Source: RIG II 1, E-2. Musée Camillo Leone (Vercelli). #EpigraphyTuesday
@mrundkvist #GoodMorning from Anstey! I will have an early meeting again. Then shopping and a talk from Finland.
The cobblestone mosaics are a modern German speciality. They are commonly attributed to the paver Alois Krems. His work was inspired by pavings in southern France. In the late 19th century, as part of major road reconstruction works, several roads were repaved between 1901 and 1911. #MosaicMonday
@mrundkvist #GoodMorning from Anstey! Today the cat was staring at me and purring before 4am 🤯 Will be a long day. Waiting for a call from my brother. Then a walk in the Welford Road cemetery. In the evening the Green drinks.
Overlooking the ocean, 12 massive sculptures by Galician artist Manolo Paz were created in 1994. The granite sculptures were inspired by the Neolithic menhirs that are found throughout the Iberian Peninsula. They are called Menhirs for Peace and are popular at sun set. #StandingStoneSunday
happy #Caturday from grandcat Gerald, who has, like many of us, had A Week
@mrundkvist #GoodMorning from Anstey! Today there is a heritage day at the Uni, so I head there in the afternoon. Should be sunny so perhaps a little walk.

I have a debate piece out about metal detectorists as citizen scientists in Sweden's foremost pop-sci magazine.

Missriktade regler mot metallsökare behöver ändras för att främja svensk arkeologisk forskning.
