I’m also an #amphora geek! Look at this huge Dressel 20 olive oil amphora sherd that I met at Newcastle University’s Birdoswald #excavation earlier this year.

Big boi ❤️

Let me share my #mortarium obsession with you: just look at this beauty! Made at Mancetter-Hartshill, used widely across Roman Britain ❤️ what for? Most likely for grinding/mushing and mixing food. ‘Tis a beauty ❤️

Ever wondered how rusticated Roman beakers got their texture? 👋
These cups were common in Roman Britain and widely traded across the province, and you can bring one home:

Here is another of my favourite #mortaria - the spout (or snout!) of a Soller piggy mortarium that was found in the river at Piercebridge

A Roman oil lamp replica I'm working on. The original to the right was found by chance in Nijmegen. I sculpted a solid "master", around which I shaped the mould. With the mould I can make a series of lamps, just the way the Romans used to make them.

We've reopened Trench 25 from last year and already have a contender for find of the week with this lovely bit of Samien found by Alison!
A tiny fragment of highly decorated Romanpottery held out by a yellow glove. The sherd is bright red, and has a row of ridges and grooves with the partial remnants of a decorated scene visible, but as it is barely 2cm wide not much can be identified.
