This wonderful Ancient Greek gold coin dates from late 5th-century BCE.

It was issued by the city of Akragas, today’s Agrigento, in Sicily.

The coin features a crab on the reverse, and an eagle standing on a rock, devouring a snake.These symbols were common designs on the coinage of Akragas.

A #Roman basket found in a well at the eastern fort at Welzheim. The damp environment has preserved it in a good condition.

#StandingStoneSunday with a gorgeous stone row at Lakehead Hill, just north of Bellever Tor, Dartmoor

While the Neolithic & Bronze age sites on Dartmoor are exceptional, there's a lack of Hillforts & Iron Age occupation

We explore it in the new episode >>>

This week saw an excellent talk on Moonlit monuments by Carolyn Kennett for #Cornwall Archaeological Society (CAS) about the role moonlight might have played in their materials and use. Immediately I thought Duloe circle. Not in moonlight but sunset certainly elevates the quartz #StandingStoneSunday

A Scottish one as it's St Andrew's Day: Baliscate stone row above Tobermory on Mull. There's a path of oyster shells leading up to the field of the stones – very nice. #StandingStoneSunday
