Describe the shield for us. How big is it? What does it look like? The shield is about 60 centimeters in diameter. It's a round shield hammered from a fingerlingot of bronze into a very, very thin sheet. But then it's been decorated with concentric rings and concentric hammered bosses. And there's over 9,000 of these bosses hammered into the surface of the shield.

Kuulostaa siltä, että se on käytetty rauhassa tai itsevaiheessa. Kyllä, tämä on todella mielenkiintoinen asia, kun näet todella selkeästi, missä prehistoriallinen rauha tai rauha on saanut tämän rauhan. Ne olivat todennäköisesti käytettyä rauhassa, ja tämä on myös todella tärkeää, koska nämä ovat joitain ensimmäisiä alkuperäisiä rauhassa ja vahvistuksessa Britannissa.

When are we talking about? What year? Do you have a sense of when the shield was created and what the conflicts were that were driving its use? The shield dates to just over 3,000 years ago in what we call the Bronze Age.

This is a period where people are settled in farming communities, they're living off the land, but this is also a period where we see the invention of the sword, the first object in human history that's designed purely for harming another human, unfortunately. And with this, if somebody has a sword, you want a shield or you want a bigger sword, and it fuels what I call the Bronze Age arms race, where you have societies coming into

That was Matthew Knight speaking to Justin Webb. And the shield will be on display towards the end of June at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Pendolino plusjuna kiihdytti asemalta. Hytissä Mikko hymyili uudelle kollegalleen. Ilmassa oli alkavan työystävyyden tuntua, jota varjosti vain kalvava epäilys. Oliko työkaverin nimi sittenkään se, millä Mikko oli häntä koko ajan kutsunut? Vai otakko maanrakoon, vaihtaa junaa vai jopa työpaikkaa? Kaikkia ongelmia ei VRn yrityslippukaan ratkaise, mutta se joustaa, jotta työmatkoilla olisi vähemmän muredittavaa. VR. Yhteisellä matkalla.

I'm Charlotte Gallagher, and in the early hours of Monday, the 16th of January, these are our main stories. The speeches, the winners and the losers will bring you the biggest stories from the Oscars. Donald Trump pleads for allies to help secure a key shipping route blocked as a consequence of the US-Israel war with Iran. We hear from one former US ambassador.

Ugandan opposition leader Bobby Wine tells the BBC why he's fled the country. And we hear all about a club for dull men.

The winners of the most coveted awards in Hollywood have been named. The Oscars in Los Angeles gave the biggest nod to the political thriller One Battle After Another, which got six awards, including the prize for Best Picture. Michael B. Jordan won Best Actor for the vampire film Sinners, and here he is speaking backstage afterwards. I'm here because of the people that came before me, you know, Sidney and Denzel and

There was a whole new category for best casting. And that was won by Cassandra Kulukundis for One Battle After Another.

K-pop demon hunters landed two Oscars for best animated film and best original song. The first K-pop song to win the best original song Oscar. One of the voices behind the girl group, who's known as EJ, spoke about performing at the ceremony.

This was his first Oscar nomination, Charlotte, as you say, facing some very stiff competition from the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothee Chalamet. Very rarely does the Academy award an actor the first time that he or she is nominated for an Oscar. They like to make people wait, but Michael B. Jordan pulled off the Best Actor award for his role as the diabolical identical twins Smoke and Snake.

Niin kuin Autumn Duraud-Akapor, joka tuli ensimmäisenä osakkaan historiaan nimenomaan parhaan sinemattograafin. Ja mielestäni minun suositukseni iltapäivänä ehkä on Jessie Buckleys, koska hän oli niin iloinen ja hän oli niin iloinen, eikö se?

Hän oli, kyllä. Hän soitti William Shakespeare's Wife in Hamnetissa. Hän tuli ensimmäisenä irlandilaisen vahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahvistusvahv

Speaking of mothers, I did love that Michael B. Jordan took his mum to all the award ceremonies. I thought that was so sweet. Now, Sinners, that had the most nominations, but in the end it didn't take home the most awards, did it?

Se on oikeastaan. Tämän vuoden Akademia-arvoja on kuvaillut yhden kuukauden vuoden suurimmalla rauhallisella rauhallisella rauhallisella rauhallisella rauhallisella

a former revolutionary searching for his teenage daughter. Little surprise, perhaps, considering that the film has dominated this year's award season, winning top awards at the BAFTAs and the Golden Globes and the Directors' and Producers' Guild Ceremonies, amongst others, thus cementing, I think, Paul Thomas Anderson's place as one of the foremost filmmakers of his generation. We also had a tie situation, which is very rare.
