Starts tonight on More4, catch some wonderful @finds colleagues. The wonderful Shropshire sun pendant is featured on tonight's episode, as first reported and much researched by @PeterReavill

Getting back to work after a lovely Easter break but also the strange feeling that @PeterReavill is missing from our team. It's going to take a while to get used to. I'm ever indebted for all his support when I first interned with @findsorguk
I'd like to thank my amazing PAS West Mids team - who just are the best people to work with @WandWFlo @StaffsWMFLO @FloMidlands @AngieMBolton
Also the wider #FLOlife team, all that reside in the Central Office @britishmuseum (@Tostig1066 / @TRegistrars) and the Finds Advisors

Should metal-detecting rally organisers have resources on hand (i.e. pay for an appropriately qualified archaeologist to be on site) to deal with in situ / significant finds?

Only 832 more signatures required to reach our goal of 10,000 on the petition to #SaveArchaeologyAtWorcester!
It's just over 4 weeks since @worcester_uni decided to close the course.
Students have still not been formally consulted.

"I am upset postgraduates have been left out [of prior consultation] and deeply saddened for the discipline."
Thanks to Sammie Lynch for her #AlumniTestimonial!
Sammie temporarily withdrew from her studies and is now facing not completing her MRes!
@worcester_uni, not good!

Happy #WorldBeardDay!
Over on the database we have many great depictions of beards. So for today we have found DENO-FD5D1A, a #medieval lead papal bulla of Pope Urban IV. The bulla depicts two glorious beards on its reverse side on representations of Saints Peter and Paul.🧔🧔♂️

New in thePipeLine: WORCESTER STUDENTS ASK WHERE IS THEIR UNIVERSITY’S DUTY OF CARE?
Accusations that, in the haste to end archaeology teaching, the University of Worcester has failed to exercise its duty of care over the mental health of students.

Stunning object and an absolute pleasure to work on for @findsorguk

From the Bronze Age ~ found by metal detector in peaty soil in Shropshire, this tiny (5cm), astonishingly-sophisticated gold pendant is 3,000 years old. Decorated with semi-circles & geometric motifs, & a stylised representation of the sun (far R) britishmuseum.org/sites/defa…

The gaping hole in the West Midlands will do nothing to help the accessibility of studying archaeology.....
1 Sep 2021
The impact of the closure of the Archaeology course is having a profound effect on current students and staff, but have the University stopped to think about the future, and what the loss of this provision means to individuals wishing to study archaeology in years to come?

Hey that's me 🙋🏼♀️as a mature student I didn't have the grades to go to Birmingham or Warwick so where is left for people like me to study archaeology locally?

Grew up in the West Midlands, went to the University of Worcester in the West Midlands, work in archaeology in the West Midlands...
Coming shortly on the archaeosoup YouTube channel- Worcester graduates in conversation.

I'm a Midlander and was able to study in the Midlands and continue to live here and work here too to record and understand the local archaeology. I wouldn't have had that opportunity without Worcester University Archaeology course.

Please remember, what is happening @worcester_uni is only part of a bigger trend that was attempted @ArchaeologyChe1, is being fought at @UniShefArch and happened at Hull.

I’m sharing this video again because I’m furious. No market for archaeology!? Commercial archaeology is BOOMING with no new archaeologists to deliver. @worcester_uni @saveworcsarch

Worcester Archaeology & Heritage degree course offered me an opportunity as a mature student that so many other Russell Group Universities would never consider giving me. The course has such a fantastic employment record too.
