The photo is taken looking over the shoulder of two students who are examining a tray of artefacts including bones, pottery and metal objects
A small bird skull sits on a wooden desk, ready for the students to start preparing it for a photo. The desk has some graffiti scratched into it.
Our graduate students were forced to choose an artefact to practice with for their 'photographing archaeological finds' workshop with our inhouse photographer, Ian. R. Cartwright. How to choose from this tray of delights? #archaeologyproblems 💀 #graduatestudy #studyhere

The project logo shows a simple map of Africa with crisscrossing lines creating a crazing paving style mosaic within the continent. Some of the shapes in the south are coloured in in red, orange and green.
Photo credit: Dr Alice Williams - a small wooden structure on three legs with straw roof, covering a firepit. there are red and green cloths hanging on a string between two of the structure legs.
Photo credit: Dr Mica Jones. A small stone staircase ascends between two huge rocks. The staircase appears to significantly narrow as it rises so it looks like a squeeze at the top!
One of our newest projects: New Bantu Mosaics, led by @chirikure.bsky.social is up & running now & the photos from the field are glorious! @alicejwilliams.bsky.social
