A highlight from morning two of RAC/TRAC: amazing reconstructions of nalbound socks by Anne Marie Decker. Including a reconstruction of the Dura-Europos sock (housed at Yale), dating to 200-256 CE. Anne Marie is also a contributor to a forthcoming BAR Volume, so keep your eyes peeled!

Nalbound sock in beige/brown colour. The sock has fringe at the top, and has a separate big toe section.
