i could have done with about eight or ten uninterrupted hours in the national museum of ireland: archaeology. could just sit in the dark and look at all dem golden torcs, put your hands on the glass over the bog bodies and close your eyes and see if you can feel them humming to themselves
We stand by our original paper on the #Pulboroughbigbookoftorcs.com/2023/10/19/a...#Archaeology#Torcs#Gold#IronAge#HarryPriceintarch.ac.uk/journal/issu...
Two fragments of a decorated buffer terminal torc were found near Pulborough, West Sussex (UK) in 2019. Simple in design but complex in construction, this hollow, gold alloy neck-ring is like other 4t...
Will be giving a lecture at Verulamium Museum @stalbansmuseums on 15th November. A tale of torcs, gold, ghosts hunters & Gef might also make an appearance. Really hope to see you there! #StAlbans#Lectures#Museums#Archaeology#Torcs#Hertfordshirewww.stalbansmuseums.org.uk/whats-on/gol...
@tessmachling.bsky.social on why context is everything for a researcher. Especially in the case of valuable metal alloy objects such as the torcs.
My thoughts about detecting & torcs - how much has been lost & what we will gain if we do things properly. #Archaeology #Archaeologists #Torcs #Gold #Detecting #Detectorists Please share. Thank you 😊 bigbookoftorcs.com/2024/09/11/d...

That thing when you go to write a short piece about detecting and torcs and you realise there has actually been a paper on this topic festering inside you for years... I may be some time! 😂 #Archaeology#Torcs#Gold
Well, here it is - a torc found in 1848 & which has rarely been seen off display. It was last written about in 1936 & until now, there were only a few images of it. I give you the Needwood Forest torc in all its glory. #Archaeology#Gold#Torcsbigbookoftorcs.com/2024/09/04/t...

@tessmachling.bsky.social Hello! I was looking through your nifty Big Book of Torcs, I seem to be missing a particular subject I'm looking for. I keep finding conflicting information on Pictish (and peripheral cultures) use of Torcs. I know chains were more common. Do you know any good resources?
Massive thankyou to Royal Collections Trust who granted me free image rights for publication of Needwood Forest torc. HUGELY important as torc not examined & few images of it. Latest publication was 1933. Blog in next few days... 😊 #Archaeology#Torcs#Gold 📷 Royal Collection Trust
