The picture isn’t too hot from my mobile phone, but over lunch today, the Archaeology department shared a rare recent find. It was a glass Viking necklace, probably 1000 years old, that was discovered in the back of a cave in the Burren. The original glass would have been a pale, transparent blue, though it reacted with the chemical composition of the soil to turn more iridescent. It can be pretty cool working at a research university!
