@antiquity.ac.ukThis #Roman potsherd discovered in Tuscany has a very unique design #FindsFriday
Whilst most terra sigillata pottery was decorated with small, standardised stamps, this example is large and ornate, hinting at an unseen side of Roman craft production.

@colmuseums.bsky.socialThey never did. It's less a treasure hoard than a single, tragic moment preserved in the archaeological record. 🏺💍🔥 #RomanBritain #Archaeology #FindsFriday
@wiltshiremuseum.bsky.socialThis #FindsFriday we have a medieval copper alloy and enamel Limoges hollow cast figurine from a crucifix, dating to AD 1150-1250. The figurine depicts Christ, moulded in relief, upon the cross.
@nattrustarch.bsky.socialLast week we shared a post on archaeological archives, but did you know there’s a whole online catalogue you can explore?
National Trust Collections provides opportunities to search the over 1.1 million artefacts in our care, whether by property, category, or date.
Perfect for #FindsFriday!

A vast #Roman fortress was established at Usk in the 50s AD. Covering an area of 19.5ha. This was the base for a #legion of 5,000 at a time when the Usk river probably marked the edge of the Roman Empire.
Iron dagger and scabbard inlaid with Silver.

@edgeg.bsky.socialThe Maerdy Oak at St Fagans museum, Cardiff. Apologies, the photo does not do it justice.
This is one of the oldest woodcarvings in Europe dated to 4250 BCE.
It was found by workmen whilst working on a substation for the solar farm near Maerdy in the Rhondda.

@mattpope.bsky.socialA lovely little Clactonian notch, a specialised Lower Palaeolithic tool over 400,000 years old.
At #Archaeotech26 I made one and tried to work wood with it, as I've done a few times before. And, as before, it seemed very ineffective. So what were these tools used for?
