Announcing this #FindsFriday that we discovered the long-interpreted “Iron Age currency bar” from Hengistbury Head is, in fact, an #ironage saw!😍🤯

With colleagues Heather, Will and Hayden, we proved why x-raying as part of #conservation is so vital!

🌼For #MosaicMonday this week I had to share this beautiful eight-petaled flower from the formal #Roman garden at @butserancientfarm.co.uk🌼

🌼Designed by Rachel Bingham and made from recycled tesserae. Inspired by the mosaic found at the 4th century villa in Sparsholt🌼
