Aren't fields fun?! Especially to survey. We are nearing the end of the N/M20 and have surveyed almost 350Ha of land.

Whilst we love the clean post-excavation photos of pottery… this is a lovely find in the field at a site in Warwickshire. As you can see from the ground, it hadn’t rained yet that day. @aocarchaeology @cfa_archaeology @IACArchaeology #Pot #Archaeology #Clay #FieldWork #Artefact

Don’t you clean up nice. When discovered this was covered in mud, our post-excavation team have done a wonderful job cleaning and photographing to show its details. @aocarchaeology @cfa_archaeology @IACArchaeology #Money #Silver #Coin #Roman #Archaeology #Heritage #Treasure

Here are some of our metal finds, from an ear scraper, to hob nails, to coins, to knives, many of the these artefacts are recognisable as objects we still use today.

Any new year's resolutions? For some Romans it might have been to have on fleek eyebrows. These are some copper alloy tweezers from a site in Northamptonshire.

At one of our most recent sites we found a well! The well took a painstaking 5 weeks to dig down to a depth of 5.3m. The excavation of the well was featured in Antiquity June 2022 https://t.co/1xK7EmxDwr
