This is amazing 👏 👏 The PAS really is a wonderful thing (yes it has flaws), but to recover a real, tangible link to a previous owner or craftsperson is truly something to cherish!

There’s something extraordinary about this otherwise pretty standard Late Bronze Age axehead:

A human fingerprint. A real, visible and tangible connection to someone from 3000 years ago. If that doesn’t give you goosebumps, idk what will. 🥹

Photo of a Bronze Age socketed axe head with a zoomed in thumbnail of a finger print on one of the faces towards the blade edge. The axe is dark green with oxidation and the surface of the blade edge has been lost.

Had a blast at the PAS annual meeting in London yesterday! It was so nice to have the PAS Cymru team all together in one place for the first time ever, and lovely to meet many Finds Liaison Officers from across the border!

Me, Nicola and Susie (three of four PAS Cymru finds officers) smiling in the atrium of the British Museum. The outside of the British Museum at night. The glass ceiling and classical-style facade with four large columns at the British Museum. Etched pub window that reads British Sporits whiskey and gin, Taylor Walker in ornately etched panel below. Blue icicle Christmas lights hang at the top.

#Archaeologists we would love your help in identifying this #mystery object which has come across our curator's desk.

Is it a comb? A music instrument bridge or related to textiles?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
