@coggers.bsky.socialReposted by @prehistoricsociety.bsky.social@prehistoricsociety.bsky.social @joanavaldez.bsky.social Some of the brilliant World Heritage Site prehistoric rock-art in Alta from last month's Arctic Norway trip. Images of reindeer, hunting, boats, bears, bear-dens, fish, all in great profusion. The earliest panels are from around 5000 BCE.
@lfieldworkers.bsky.socialReposted by @prehistoricsociety.bsky.socialThe annual joint lecture with @prehistoricsociety.bsky.social by Dr Sophie Adams (British Museum) on 'The Massive Melsonby Iron Age Hoard' was well attended.
