#FindsFriday! For this week’s treasure, CFA Archaeology is excited to share a wonderful Roman brooch recovered from excavations in West Yorkshire. The upper face of this disc brooch was decorated with 10 circles (of which 4 remain) evenly spaced around a central raised circle.
That's a nice enamelled stud!
PCA@pcaarchaeology.bsky.social · 4mo agoFor #FindsFriday a Roman enamelled stud from the site of a mausoleum that stood for 700 years overlooking the Medway marshes. Here, a woman in a lead-lined coffin, nearby Roman silverworking, and rare Anglo-Saxon finds point to a site that remained meaningful across changing worlds. #RomanBritain
Roman bracelets adapted into rings, like this example, are commonly seen in later 4th-mid-5th centuries AD with some examples from Saxon cemeteries. The number of examples recorded by the PAS suggests using one terminal end of the bracelet is common. #FindsFriday finds.org.uk/database/art...
