(2/3) Across the country, there's a crisis facing many museums: they are close to capacity and, in some cases, have already reached it. Gloucester is no exception. Our Archives team ensured collections were carefully reviewed, catalogued, and repacked – literally working one box at a time!

(2/3) The Romans probably developed these tools from military entrenching tools. This example, found on the site of a Roman villa, may have been used to cultivate vegetable plots, or to dig and maintain boundary ditches and trackways...

(3/3) We wonder if the Romans ever imagined that, 2,000 years later, we'd be using the very same tools to re-excavate their boundary ditches and trackways!

Mattocks were probably developed from military entrenching tools. This example was found on the site of a Roman villa.
