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.

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?

The Maerdy Oak at St Fagans museum, Cardiff. Apologies, the photo does not do it justice.
This is one of the oldest woodcarvings in Europe dated to 4250 BCE.
It was found by workmen whilst working on a substation for the solar farm near Maerdy in the Rhondda.
