Unsurprisingly Orkney is full of gems. Here is the stunning purple hued gravemarker of Euphemia Bailie, wife of Peter Vellian, who sadly died at the tender age of 13, and is buried here with her children. Probably died in childbirth?

Working on just such a metal
#coffin produced by Almond Dunbar Fisk in New York in the mid 1850s but found in#Hamburg. I know of some examples in the U.S. but can anyone help and tell me where else they are found?#burialarch#burials#histarch@robyn_la@SPMA@mullins_paulpic.twitter.com/6SevO1H4qk

Thanks Holly! I did the thing, if anyone has questions about colonial mortuary folk magic, ask away!

Tomorrow we’re off to start a new
#community#heritage project. We’re surveying a cemetery. At a place which happens to be called Bloody Point. On Hallowe’en. Wasn’t really planned, the timings just coincided. (I wonder what extra equipment should we take with us?)#burialarch pic.twitter.com/8McOFoFElA

Hello Twitter hive mind. Editing images from Orkney and found a stunning Johnstone/Johnson clan grave marker in Orphir. Could I just ask, do you think the symbolism is meant to represent a phoenix? I don't have access to my heraldry books at present. Cheers!

Unsure how I fit this into
#burialarch#cemeterystudies but can I just add that the talk on the T-REX was superb! Entertaining, informative, great speaker in Dr David Hone, best lecture I have listened to in ages. Here's the link for those interested https://youtu.be/f-jD7kQvyPs https://twitter.com/MortePhoto/status/1210717513350144001 … -
It is likely that these 'Dødehusene' were important places for rituals and funerary performances connected to not only honouring the dead and ensuring appropriate burial, but also in aiding the transition from biological death to social death! 3/

This fascinating new discovery has become my afternoon/evening research rabbit hole - as I should technically be writing and not procrastinating, but I really can't help it!

Some unusual and stunning archaeology coming out of central Norway this season! Rare Viking Age graves discovered by Vinjefjorden, containing two bodies in two separate boats, buried in the same location but 100 years apart

‘Neil Wilkin (
@NWilkinBM) hopes the poems will show the human, emotional side of the people living in prehistoric Britain, and engender a connection with other humans across time and space. “Burial allows individuals in the past to be known,” he says.’@Grave__Goods#burialarchPrikaži ovu nit
