Kennis & Kennis sculpture of Pontnewydd Neanderthal youngster. Modelled with brown skin, dark eyes, shoulder length dark hair. Figure is wrapped in a fur, holding a tool, and has a smile like they know something amusing about you and are trying not to laugh.
Photo of mirror with Neanderthal image on it, and reflection of a woman (me) visible.
Photo of upper jaw fragment with teeth, mounted inside a glass case. Behind it, blurred, is the furry body of the reconstruction.
Photo of butchered animal bone. Small slices visible on its surface.
🏺 Great visit yesterday to St Fagan's Amgueddfa Cymru /Museum of Wales.
Inventive themed galleries, including a close encounter with Pontnewydd #Neanderthals of 270,000 years ago.
Photo showing exhibition wall. A solid image of a Neanderthal boy stands next to profile outlines of the fauna in his world, to showing relative size. Above the boy image is a wall with post-it comments from visitors.
Photo showing post-it details, lots of names of children some with their schools, but also adults.
Photo looking down into display case inside which are a range of lithics from Pontnewydd including flakes and a large handaxe/ biface.
Nice interactive element here too, a feature of many of the displays in the museum.
(The last time I saw these lithics was during my PhD, on a trip with @beccyscottuk.bsky.social)
