From the sheer volume in the collection i couldn't devote as much time as i would've liked to some of the items
(here & there a less cluttered backdrop would've been nice)
but got to love the lurs
bog finds from between c13-8 BC

This Roman pot from our site in Wickam was made at the kilns at Shedfield/Hallcourt Wood, which produced pottery in south-east Hampshire from the 1st to late 3rd century AD.
See this, along with other Roman finds at our Open Day next Saturday!

the Gundestrup cauldron is very dimly lit which makes photographing it challenging, but unbelievable detail
of uncertain date some time between c2 BC - c3 AD
🧵/
also, kind of mind blowing its survived this well: the Dejbjerg wagon is actually a composite of 2 wagons from 100BC deposited in a bog
🧵/
The collection has some fantastic wood finds
These shields from an attack of around 100 warriors from around 350BC - the victors casting the defeated forces arms into a bog, thus preserving them beautifully

And staying with Roman finds on Danish soil, there's a particularly exquisite collection of #Roman glassware
From between around c2-4 AD

Denmark is not the first place you expect to find the #Romans
Yet - they had a huge impact on the material culture of those living here
perhaps unsurprisingly there was a brisk trade in precious materials, from gold (📷 #1), Silver (📷 #2&3) & even scrap bronze (📷 #4)

The collection is not short of sumptuous gold
one particularly tragic piece, these reconstructions of horns found in Gallehus, Jutland
from around c5 AD both Roman & Nordic motifs
stolen & melted down in 1802
thank goodness that never happen nowadays..! 😬😬😓😓

First off, thanks to the museum being puzzlingly bashful about their collection, its barely even signposted so i ended up essentially doing it in reverse, no matter
lets start with some incredible grave goods from around c6-8 AD

#FindsFriday & there are few collections of early medieval to prehistoric quite as exciting as the National Museum of Denmark
definitely needs a 🧵👇
Today’s #FindsFriday is a 19th century large metal key to the main gate of Roundway Psychiatric Hospital, Devizes. Otherwise known as Wiltshire County Lunatic Asylum, which opened in 1851.
Wonderful ancient artistry!
About 40,000 years ago, this small, graceful horse figurine was carved from mammoth ivory!
Imagine the #IceAge artist at work, sitting by the warmth of a fire, creating what is the world’s oldest known figure of a horse!

For #FindsFriday we have two boxwood combs, one of which was found still in its leather pouch in the Commanding Officer’s residence at #Vindolanda and dating to before 100 C.E.
All combs found were made on the continent and imported.

Probably the least accurate depiction of a Palaeolithic 'Venus' figurine, in the Westminster Gazette 100 years ago this week; this is Willendorf II (not the famous one), made of mammoth ivory and unfinished (I suppose it does lack arms…). Also the actual figure from a 1934 article #FindsFriday 🦣
#FindsFriday. After much searching I have found my ‘digging’ shoes which means I am now all set for heading north to @vindolandatrust.bsky.social for my fortnight of searching for interesting Roman bits and pieces 🙂 fingers crossed the rain holds off for a bit!
This spout shaped like a seated lion or dog is from a ewer, a vessel used to hold water for hand washing. Normally paired with basins they emerged in the 14th century with forms diversifying in the 15th to include elaborate zoomorphic forms. #FindsFriday finds.org.uk/pas/recorded...
