All of us at Brook Archaeology wish Sir David Attenborough a very happy 100th birthday, and many happy returns of the day. Sir David is best known for his natural history documentaries, but did you know Sir David is also a keen anthropologist and knows a lot about archaeology too. He is a keen collector of tribal art and artefacts. Very happy birthday Sir David! We at Brook Archaeology hope you have a very happy day.

Hey there! It’s time for Wednesday’s Reveal! So, this dear little flint object is a Mesolithic knife. Well done if you thought that. This would have been the Swiss Army Knife of its time, and a really useful little tool to have for cutting and drilling. This one is in Dr Clare’s own collection. It’s probably about 8,000-10,000 years old and it comes from Norfolk. Brook Archaeology are based in Kent, but sometimes we go further afield - perhaps Dr Clare and Fred will find themselves in Norfolk and discover some more of these knives!

After a short break, Mystery Monday is back! Did you miss us?
Today’s object is a tricky little thing. How many of you would see this in a field and walk past? It looks like a random bit of flint, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not. What is it and when was it made? Answers below! Tune in on Wednesday to find out if you’re right!

It’s time for Wednesday’s Reveal! Well done to everyone who thought this was animal bone. It’s an early Medieval sheep vertebra. But why was Dr Clare so excited about this one? Take a closer look - can you see the butchery marks? Someone has taken a knife to this bone and had a nice lamb dinner (sorry Fred!) Artefacts like this are important because they can tell us about Medieval diets and why people kept animals, and the different uses they had for animals. Clearly every scrap of meat was important, even the little bits around the spine. Tune in on Monday for the next Mystery object!

It’s Mystery Monday! Brook Archaeology have unearthed some very interesting things for their clients. Here’s something from a recent excavation in Gravesend. What is it? And why did Dr Clare get so excited about this?! Answers in the comments below, and tune in on Wednesday to find out!

It’s Wednesday’s Reveal! So, Monday’s mystery objects were quite easy: oyster shells. But what were they used for? Well, as well as being handy containers for seafood snacks, oyster shells were used by Medieval monks in scriptoriums. Shells made perfect little paint pallets for holding colours, or gold and silver paint. Did you know that Roman fresco painters also used oyster shells? The shells were ground up and mixed with pigments to give wall paintings a lustrous sheen. Crushed shell can also be used to make pottery and as a fertiliser. Who knew the humble oyster shell could be so useful?
Tune in on Monday for your next Mystery object!

It’s Mystery Monday! Here are two artefacts from a site Brook Archaeology had the pleasure of excavating for a client in North Kent. This one might seem easy, but Dr Clare doesn’t just want to know what these are, she wants to know what these things could be used for. Answers in the comments please. Good luck!

Brook Archaeology wishes everyone a Happy Easter holiday! Whether you believe Jesus was the son of God or not, the Easter story is certainly fascinating. Did a Jewish rabbi called Jesus exist? Was this Jesus executed by the Romans? Where was this firebrand buried? Did Jesus come back to life, or was he buried alive? What do you think about the facial reconstructions showing what Jesus might have looked like? Archaeologists have been trying to ascertain facts and gather evidence about the life of Jesus and C1st Jerusalem for decades, but what do you think about it all? Dr Clare would love to hear your theories and ideas about what happened in Jerusalem over those few days. Whatever you believe, all of us at Brook Archaeology hope you’re having a lovely long weekend.
