Our #ObjectoftheDay is this reconstructed #ancientGreek white #ground lekythos, a pottery type commonly used for the storage of oil. It is of the black figure type and shows the winged #goddess #Nike, the goddess of #victory. It can be dated to the late 6th or early 5th century BC.

The sock is ankle height, and knitted in red, green and yellow stripes. It has a separate toe for the big toe so the sock can be worn with sandals.

The sock is ankle height, and knitted in red, green and yellow stripes. It has a separate toe for the big toe so the sock can be worn with sandals.

It's been a bit chilly over the last in the UK, so for #FindsFriday, here's a rather gorgeous Roman Period knitted children's sock to help your toesies feel cosy. It was found in Oxyrhynchus in Egypt, and is now in the collection at Manchester Museum.

Museums are a powerful way to communicate #archaeology research. Explore how museums are correcting misconceptions, making understudied Indigenous archaeology accessible and embracing repatriation in our Museums and Display collection 🏺

John J Johnston (1965–2025) Aidan Dodson remembers former EES Vice-Chair and long-term supporter, John J Johnston.

Our thoughts are with all those who knew John, especially his husband, John.
