Pompeii, Regio V Thermopolium doesn't disappoint!

Overall though it is an incredibly beautiful space with stone etched interpretation panels, well produced sounds capes and narrations. It's bite sized archaeology, which enables you take time to get a sense of the thing you are looking at, or pop into to soak up the atmosphere in a hectic day.🏺📜🏛

The archaeological history of the site can be found online rather than in building. The oral histories of the discovery is a great project and fantastic resource to explore public perceptions of our discipline 70+ years ago compared to new discoveries today.

Displaying more finds from the site itself as part of the temple level (not in but cases along the sides) might have added some more detail and understanding? The only finds were as you entered and more 'a variety of material' rather than use of the site.

The immersive experience was interesting and offered some interpretation of how the space may have felt or sounded like during rites and festivals. But it somehow felt lacking to me.

I had a chance to visit the London Mithraeum and would love to hear other peoples thoughts!
Located under the Bloomberg building in central London, in the heart of the ancient Roman city, are the foundations of a 3rd C temple of Mithras, conserved and displayed in an immersive initiation experience.

A great article on Ennigaldi-Nanna @theconversation.com by Dr Louise Pryke

5 weeks in Cyprus @caari-cyprus.bsky.social = serious library time plus fun museum and heritage excursions. The Ledra city is super cute, displaying the finds from the excavations on site. A figurine factory means lots of wasters. Favourite find has to be the terracotta bath tub.

So dissapointed to miss this.

Essential reading!
"Scientists must also attend to their own racism. It is not enough to be non-racist. Structural issues and inequities exist in the Western academy. Those who avoid engaging with racism and colonialism in scientific works and spaces merely promote the status quo." 🏺📜🏛

Fabulous new article on the experience of girlhood in Ancient Egypt by the phenomenal @julia-hamilton.bsky.social - great research and great teaching as always 🔥

The final chapter, 20, offers a distribution guide to the known publicly accessible collections in the region - 66 in total. Each institution is given a short entry that situates the ancient Med. artefacts within its broader collections, with the aim of increasing visibility of these materials 🏺📜🏛.

Chapter 19 by Caleb Hamilton offers new perspectives and a distinctly Māori framework, exploring whether the use of tikanga could be offered to mummified Egyptian human remains held within museums in Aotearoa New Zealand, aligning with attitudes towards the display and care of kōiwi tangata.🏺📜🏛

Chapter 18 is on developing collaborative holistic research practices for the ethical care, treatment, interpretation, and display of Egyptian human remains at CCWM. The authors aim to encourage all who care for human remains in their collections to think more critically about ‘best practice’ 🏺📜🏛

Chapter 17 from ANU Classics Museum discusses recent restitution of three Italian objects and shares detail of the processes in a way that might benefit other institutions, hoping to encourage a wider dialogue around restitution that focuses on the realities and opportunities that can arise.
