So close!! Can we get it across the line and into the safety of Leicester Museums Service, where it can be researched, studied... and looked after in perpetuity! #Archaeology 🏺 https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-save-leicestershires-bronze-age-torc#

A rather odd sibling for the Newark torc and the Netherurd terminal: Torc H7 from Snettisham. #Archaeology #Torcs #Gold https://bigbookoftorcs.com/2026/03/09/snettisham-torc-h7-up-close/

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! This sewing needle was made from animal bone some 13,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start Length: 5.6cm 📷 Landesmuseum Württemberg #archaeology

Experts examine 150-year-old bottle of booze from a buried 1800s mining town. When we say examine, we mean what are their Mastodon handles, because you know what they did there https://www.wcax.com/2026/03/04/experts-taste-150-year-old-bottle-booze-buried-1800s-mining-town/?tbref=hp&utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=fark&ICID=ref_fark #science #archaeology #history #vintage #Utah

Ancient Greece’s most famous oracle was just high on gas fumes. From @popsci@universeodon.com: "The Oracle of Delphi, also known as the Pythia, likely inhaled ethylene to enter her famous trance." https://flip.it/sAbjVa #Archaeology #Greece #Science

Authorities tracked a gang of looters to a hidden Cave full of artifacts. The trick was remembering to say "Open Sesame" https://archaeologymag.com/2026/02/second-temple-stone-vessel-workshop-jerusalem/ #stem #science #archaeology #crime #vintage #Israel

“I’m just trying to save history for the local community and future generations. And I’ve always been very happy to donate my finds to the local museum for others to experience and enjoy.” Yay for Mr Nicolas! #Treasure #Detecting #Archaeology 🏺 https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/metal-detectorists-find-2000-year-33485357

Oh, you're into 4,800-year-old Egyptian pyramids? That's cool, that's cool. I was into old pyramids, too, before they got so mainstream. I've moved on now to 5,200-year-old canoes dragged from a Wisconsin lake, but you probably haven't heard of them https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20260223-the-ancient-us-discovery-predating-the-pyramids?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=fark&ICID=ref_fark #archaeology #history #indigenous #cool #Wisconsin

12,000-year-old elk hide, sewn with hand-spun cord, found in an Oregon cave. Likely the world's oldest known sewing. Our nan claims she's been at it just as long. 🧵 Dry caves preserve everything. Ancient humans were extraordinary. What do you reckon they were making? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/these-12000-year-old-scraps-of-elk-hide-may-be-the-worlds-oldest-known-examaples-of-sewing-180988200/ #caving #history #americanhistory #ancienthumans #archaeology

The Band of Holes, on Monte Sierpe (Serpent Mountain), Peru. There are around 5,200 aligned holes or pits, stretching for about 1.5 kilometres and thought to date back to around 1400. Some feel the pits - at the intersection of two Inca trade routes - may have been used to measure out goods for accounting and tax purposes. Others have suggested that the holes were graves or defensive fortifications or that they had a religious significance. #archaeology #history #mythology #folklore #architecture

I wonder which of these 25 ingots @findsorguk.bsky.social (all were returned to finder...) ended up being melted down? There's very few truly undiagnostic finds - most are awaiting a person or technique to decode their secrets... #Treasure #Detecting #Archaeology 🏺 https://finds.org.uk/database/images/index/sort/updated/objecttype/INGOT/imageRights/Isle+of+Wight+Council Text from: https://spectator.com/article/why-a-set-of-gold-coins-have-divided-british-archeologists/

I disagree with Mike in his conclusions, and the archaeological 'worth' of many detected finds, but it was good to have a chat this week, and to see the raw £ finally getting some coverage! #Archaeology #Detecting #Treasure 🏺 https://spectator.com/article/why-a-set-of-gold-coins-have-divided-british-archeologists/
