A hoard of over 1900 #Roman silver coins found at Falkirk (Scotland); equivalent to 10+ years pay for an ordinary soldier. The coins range in date from 83BC to AD230, & may have been part of a bribe paid by Rome to a chieftain north of the frontier to secure peace for a while 🏺AncientBlueSky

It is with crushing sadness that I share the news that Dr Kay Hartley, our mortarium extraordinaire, died last week at the age of 94. I visited her the week before she passed, and I will forever cherish the memory of that visit. May she rest in peace and her legacy be continued.

This once-elegant copper-alloy mount, incised, moulded and pierced with tiny holes, came from a Romano-British pit in the Cotswolds. It was probably attached to a circular object, perhaps made of wood or leather. What could it have been? #FindsFriday #archaeology #RomanBritain

London once had a Roman fort and its remains can be seen underground in a car park. It was built around AD 110 and the rebuilt fort could house 5,000 soldiers in 5 hectares. It is similar to the forts at the Hadrian's Wall, built at the same time. #RomanFortThursday

The standards of archaeological "journalism" are appalling. Hatchet pieces accusing heritage of constraining development. Misinformation. Sloppy repetition of myths. If the standard is this bad for archaeology, a subject I know about, how can I trust reporters on anything else?
