It is with crushing sadness that I share the news that Dr Kay Hartley, our mortarium extraordinaire, died last week at the age of 94.

I visited her the week before she passed, and I will forever cherish the memory of that visit. May she rest in peace and her legacy be continued.

The writing continues with far more success - but with this vibe 👇🏻

Here is another of my favourite #mortaria - the spout (or snout!) of a Soller piggy mortarium that was found in the river at Piercebridge

This is my kinda display! A mortarium and a triple vase getting the elevated position they absolutely deserve at Verulamium Museum ❤️

Photo my own from my visit during the summer for the SGRP annual conference.

Let me introduce my number one research assistant, Dr Henry. He really enjoyed Fields of Britannia, and highly recommends it to all interested in Roman Britain!

I’m also an #amphora geek! Look at this huge Dressel 20 olive oil amphora sherd that I met at Newcastle University’s Birdoswald #excavation earlier this year.

Big boi ❤️

Let me share my #mortarium obsession with you: just look at this beauty! Made at Mancetter-Hartshill, used widely across Roman Britain ❤️ what for? Most likely for grinding/mushing and mixing food. ‘Tis a beauty ❤️
