To bring a smile to your face this Monday morning, here’s an ancient Egyptian sketch of a cat serving a mouse! 😄 The artist used a flake of limestone as a sketchpad for this fun scene. 📷 Brooklyn Museum www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollecti... #Archaeology #Art

I’m super excited to be part of this amazing team (even if my Palaeolithic rocks are very peripheral to the New Kingdom tomb - although there were some Nubian cores eroded from the top of the cliff in the fill burying C4)

Something special for the lithophiles for #FlintFriday and #FieldFriday - two ends of the Levallois spectrum from my survey yesterday in Luxor. I’ve never seen anything quite like either of them 🤩

Great work from @icarehb.bsky.social’s outreach team yesterday sharing archaeology activities with 150 visitors at the Centro Ciência Viva in Faro 🪨🔬🪼 Also it turns out that my Portuguese skills are better suited to explaining stone tools and 3D printing than smalltalk with my neighbours 🇵🇹
