If we, here in 2025, don’t expect women in the 1930s to have been physical, to be undertaking manual excavation tasks, it probably says more about later 20th century stereotypes of womanhood than it does about women in e. 20th century archaeology.

A new mosaic discovered just a few months ago, down the road from where my partner's sister lives.
It came to light as part of a housing development in Newnham, Glos.
But there's no intention to clear and record it fully, which is a crying shame! Details in Alt text.

@mwilliamsjourno.bsky.social @peterreavill.bsky.social Memories of a visit to Vaisons-La-Romaine in 1994 after the flood. Funnily enough, the Roman ruins escaped the tragic flood. As if the Ancients knew where to build as in on dry land. Maybe more sense, less greed. #StopBuildingOnFloodProneLands
The work of Steve Clarke and Monmouth Archaeology shows flooding to be a regular seasonal issue. Its a cracking read.
That doesn't make it easier to cope with and thoughts with all those coping with today's floods

Wow. Money going to individual finders instead of institutional support means museums get objects but lose capacity to care for them. The whole system needs rethinking. What's the point of acquiring treasure if you can't staff, store, or share it properly?
