Colchester Museums@colmuseums.bsky.social · last mo.Among the more curious Roman burial finds are vessels known as tettinae. Small pots with narrow spouts and handles, they are often discovered in children’s graves.

I am always amazed by the skill of potters & love a good replica so this oil lamp by the super talented Gilbert Burroughs ticks many boxes! A Loeschcke type IV, with the central relief decoration depicting glass blowers (dates c.40-100 CE)... #archaeology #romanarchaeology #pottery
A great day. While many papers reflected on, showcased or utlised in new ways Dr Kay Hartley's work on #roman mortaria, others delved into chronology, typology, use & shared symbolism. Certainly lots to ponder! #archaeology #pottery thank you all & @sgrp.bsky.social - wolf mosaic was an added bonus!

As perhaps a 'New Antiquarian' [ditch the awful name, please?] I'm not sure what to make of this. In #Archaeology, this isn't a recent thing (& it's more complicated), but I do think academia still isn't sure what to do with learned - but non-academia derived - non-standard research outputs.
