When someone invites you to have a podcast chat with someone you've never met before, it can be a bit daunting...

...but when your co-podcastee is the very lovely and brilliant Sigrid Van Roode, you find yourself having a wonderful chat that could have gone on for hours! We had a lot of fun.

If you fancy a listen 👇

exarc.netNot just a Pretty Object | EXARCSummary: Blingy, fashionable or personal. Jewellery has been an integral element of identity for thousands of years. Despite this, historic and archaeological examples of these items of adornment have often been understudied and misunderstood. This month we are joined by two guests who are intent on changing this, aiming to highlight the true beauty of jewellery in a wider context. Listen in to hear all about the similarities and differences between studying historic and archaeological jewellery and how to start moving towards seeing these objects as craft items which can tell us their own fascinating stories. Tess Machling is an archaeologist and independent researcher looking at Prehistoric and Iron Age gold from a craft perspective.

If you're in #StAlbans area & fancy hearing the latest on this oh-so wonderful torc (& Gef!), it would be lovely to see you on 15th Nov!

Totally suitable for non-archs too.

(Please share. Thank you! 😊)

St Albans MuseumsGold, Ghosts and a Talking MongooseIn 2019, a gold torc neck-ring was found in Pulborough, Sussex. Thought to be Iron Age, and around 2400 years old, there were suspicions that it just wasn't quite right for this time period. During research on this very special torc, the story that emerged was even more incredible than could have been imagined.    Join archaeologist Tess Machling for a roller-coaster journey through a world of archaeological shenanigans, theft, 20th century forgeries - and a famous ghosthunter called Harry Price...!

Even if you 100% agree it's Iron Age (N.B. we still don't think it is) to ignore connection to Harry Price (known faker & planter of genuine artefacts) is shoddy.

Not SAS's fault (they're just following British Museum), but this leaves a bad taste...

... BM have not disproved ANYTHING we said.

Well, here it is - a torc found in 1848 and which has rarely been seen off display. It was last written about in 1936 and until now there were only a few images of it available.

I love this torc and feel immensely privileged to have been able to examine it! 😊

I give you the Needwood Forest torc in all its glory.
