This rare Roman pottery lamp, shaped like a foot wearing a sandal, was made between 50-60 CE, and was found at Borough High Street in Southwark. Archaeologists discovered the lamp in a rubbish pit, close to buildings that had been burnt down during the Boudican rebellion in 60-61 CE. #FindsFriday
For #FindsFriday we're following a trail of tiny beads left behind in Victorian Islington. Hundreds were recovered at Ironmonger Row Baths alongside fasteners, pins & buttons made from glass, shell and bone, hinting at the presence of a seamstress in one of the terraced houses that once stood here.

A team from PCA Newark have recently rediscovered a hidden well within the gatehouse at Newark Castle.
The well was first recorded in Archaeologia in 1782, where it was described as being 'still open'.

@pcaarchaeology.bsky.social keep bringing it at Boulton Moor - here's a nice intact Roman pot from a well or watering hole. Let's hope that trowel doesn't slip. And a hammered silver penny (Edward I or II) just to spoil the Roman vibe!
For #FindsFriday, I'm gifting you this fantastic Bronze Age felled tree we’ve just excavated from #Skipsea in Holderness. The marks of the socketed bronze axe are clearly visible, and the thud of the axe is almost audible. Used - we think - as a post, perhaps for a trackway.

If you’re going to hobnail the shoe, then bloody hobnail the shoe, that’s what I say.

For #FindsFriday, we have this wonderful piece of worked wood from our trench on the edge of the palaeolake at #Skipsea. Our student, Lydia, found it in an area that was once alder carr. At the moment, we don’t know its date, but it is likely prehistoric.

More Roman gubbins from Boulton Moor, a lovely little pottery flask (perfume bottle?) that emerged intact last week
