This week, it’s the second part of @archaeologyuk #FestivalOfArchaeology & we are thinking about common archaeological finds; what they are made of & how long they survive in the ground.

I grew up in Henbury in North Bristol. In the graveyard of St Mary's, is the tomb of Scipio Africanus, who died in 1720 aged 18. It's one of the very few memorials to black slaves and servants in Britain - and someone has smashed it. Please help restore it
