I had the chance to 3D scan these beautiful Nigerian ceramics yesterday! 6th-9th century if I remember correctly 😍 I also very much enjoyed getting to train the staff member who brought them to me in 3D scanning themselves #3dscanning #archaeology #nigeria #ceramics #learninganddevelopment

But what I love even more than the views from St Mary’s, are the 3-400 yo graffiti inscriptions in the alcoves. What do you mean someone was in this very spot carving their name into the wall 30 years before the English Civil War even began!?!? #ancientgraffiti #archaeolgist #oxforduniversity
