Usk #Pottery AD 55-75 The Usk garrison required huge amounts of kitchen and tablewares. Most of the pottery was produced close to the fortress. Probably by civilian potters, some of whom may have come from the Rhineland. 📷 My own. #RomanFortThursday #Archaeology AncientBlueSky🏺

Thrilled that @flaroh.bsky.social agreed to do a new "red-figure vase" inspired cover for my revamped telling of a story from Virgil's #Aeneid! Short, violent and tragic, this book is perfect for reluctant or busy teen readers, especially those studying Latin GCSE. www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...

Okay folks, I also compiled a list of environmental / multispecies anthropologists. #EnviroAnthro #AnthroSky #Anthropology It's VERY incomplete, so please let me know who I missed, or if you'd like to be added. [Or, of course, if you'd like to be removed from this list.] go.bsky.app/Hax2cvh

This year, I made new friends, which is great because it's been a long time since I had any new ones—or at least, people I might call friends. I’ve realized that I enjoy having friends and want to give them gifts for Christmas. Naturally, I believe the best options are books.

Seeing all the starter packs popping up inspired me to try to start one for Roman history. It was useful (for me) to be a little more rigorous in trying to find more of us on here, and I hope it might be helpful for others also. And, of course, very happy to add to it! go.bsky.app/FRyw2gA
