For #FindsFriday, a jug with painted decoration and a tall-necked beaker, both New Forest wares dating to the second half of the 4th century AD.
They were found side by side within a disused grain dryer and may have been deliberately placed after the structure had gone out of use.

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.
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'.

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

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

@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!
