This amazing find inspired me to make this wee illustration, I found it very evocative to imagine the early medieval churchyard at Govan could be a hive of activity and craft workers. Not just stone carving but jewellery as well

an illustration of a woman in early medieval clothing working on a piece of shale jewellery, in the top right corner is an enlarged depiction of the piece she is working on- a lump of shale being worked with a hole in the centre perhaps in the process of making a ring

Wonderful discoveries by @govanstones.bsky.social & great example of the power of #communityarchaeology brilliant engagement by the whole team.

So much passion about the story of Govan and getting people actively involved in learning. @hornesupremacy.bsky.social
