If you’re following the #harcruins conference here but haven’t managed to join us in person, we will be recording some of the presentations & putting them online next week. In the meantime, watch a year’s worth of Ruination & Decay seminars on our website, linked here 👇

Replying to @pre_historian
But also true that not all LBA axes were used or useable (e.g. wessexarch.co.uk/our-work/br…). Analysis of composition and wear will be crucial.
