Today we have a very special #FindsFriday ... a timelapse of the micro-excavation of the Iron Age Norfolk Carnyx Hoard.
It’s pretty amazing to see the micro-excavation process and get a glimpse of the carnyx, boar standard and shield bosses as they're revealed.

This Roman radiate is of Marius who ruled for a brief period in AD 269. The reverse depicts clasped hands & the legend CONCORDIA MILITVM which translates to "harmony with the soldiers" or "unity of the army". #FindsFriday finds.org.uk/pas/recorded...

Hiding in Battle Museum of Local History are lovely plaster fragments that once decorated the nearby roman baths at Beauport Park. The purple, yellow & red lines would have bordered a central scene, and different paint layers suggest redecoration happened at some point 💜💛❤️.

These so-called glass claw beakers were distinctive art forms for early Anglo-Saxons in England and northern Frankish kingdoms. This one was unearthed at the Ringlemere barrow in Kent. The moulded glass appendages look very octopus-like.
