First we saw Lampeter gutted & now the humanities at Cardiff. The Archaeology department was my undergrad Alma Mater & I've always been so proud of that and every opportunity they gave me. Solidarity with them & their colleagues as they face what's coming from above. Senseless, souless, vandalism 🏺
