The ‘Shell Mosaic’ from Fishbourne Roman Palace in West Sussex. Dating from the mid-third century AD, the mosaic depicts two scallop shells either side of the central panel. #MosaicMonday #RomanBritain 📸 My own.

Went for a walk at Halnaker yesterday. A lot of the leaves had fallen but it was still beautiful. I actually reduced the saturation on these - it looked almost unreal. We arrived just after the sun rose. Gorgeous morning. #Halnaker #RomanRoad #StaneStreet #Sussex #Kinsey

We see a lot of fragmentary Roman roof tile, but near-complete examples like this are few and far between! This recent find is from a late Roman sunken-featured building (SFB) bordering a small Romano-British trackway in Kent. #FindsFriday #RomanBritain #Archaeology

A very delicate penannular brooch (Fowler Type C). Late Iron Age to Early Roman & found alongside some very late Roman Pottery and already regarded an antique (& appreciated) when it went in the ground. #FindsFriday #RomanBritain #Romanfinds #Romanarchaeology

Cotswold Archaeology
@CotswoldArch7 Dec 2023
#Roman enclosures are common in #Oxfordshire; more unusual is finding they contain a cattle skull deposited upside down, accompanied by a lump of quartz crystals... Our Milton Keynes team excavated these delights plus this excellent little penannular brooch at 'Broken Furrow' and, we can’t lie, it’s slightly giving ‘reduced budget on that fourth Indiana Jones movie’ 💀 Grace explains how this combo of objects might have ended up together, here: cotswoldarchaeology.co.uk/en… #IsItRitual? 🤔 #Archaeology #CASiteTeam
