🐈‍⬛ For #caturday an unusual mosaic of a #cat, birds & apples in the Sala degli Animali, 🏛️ Vatican. This room was set up under Pius VI (1775-1799) with ancient works that were restored or reworked with the aim of creating a "stone zoo". 🏺 #ancientbluesky 🗃️ #history #mosaicmonday #arthistory

Sometimes it can appear that archaeologists spend a lot of time lying around and relaxing, but there is a lot of work going on: cleaning three burials and tracing walls of a 1st mill BCE/NeoBabylonian house. #Nippur 🏺

We are trying to limit random walking on site, so as not to interfere w the magnetometry survey. One week of walks from house to trenches suggests we like walking in pairs or threes across. Relevant to creation of hollow ways? #Nippur #Mesopotamia 🏺

We do have this side view; we are thinking now its likely vitrified rather than glass slag. Apparently other nearby Roman sites have similar finds so it's either furnace glass or evidence of pottery making. Some more research to do for our curator Andy 🏺 #Archaeology
