#FindsFriday undated stone head from Ynys Môn/Anglesey, which nonetheless has unusual ear holes & what appears to be a torc carved beneath its chin - both features one would not expect in a modern carving
Looks OK as an Iron Age/RB head 🧐🤔
On display at the excellent Oriel Môn 👌

A vast #Roman fortress was established at Usk in the 50s AD. Covering an area of 19.5ha. This was the base for a #legion of 5,000 at a time when the Usk river probably marked the edge of the Roman Empire.
Iron dagger and scabbard inlaid with Silver.

Thinking back to February when a team from @bumaritime.bsky.social and @nattrustarch.bsky.social excavated and lifted a piece of a 17th cargo vessel (the Fame of Hoorn) from the sand of Studland Bay #Dorset

A lovely little Clactonian notch, a specialised Lower Palaeolithic tool over 400,000 years old.
At #Archaeotech26 I made one and tried to work wood with it, as I've done a few times before. And, as before, it seemed very ineffective. So what were these tools used for?

Two wine strainers and a trulleus from the 1st Century CE Kingston Deverill hoard in Salisbury Museum. The spouts on the wine strainers looked very familiar to me as I painted something similar from the Chettle hoard back in 2008. Local maker, possibly?
