Dyfed Archaeology

@DyfedArch

Today's #FindsFriday is a small knee buckle. It is thought to be more likely a knee buckle rather than a shoe buckle due to its anchor like attachment bar. Thanks Malcolm for this find! #CelticSearchers #SavingTreasuresTellingStories #PortableAntiquitiesScheme pic.twitter.com/OSFy…

@ArchSouthEast

Since it’s #GoodFriday, today's #FindsFriday is somewhat #Easter-related – check out this tiny cockerel! He’s made from copper alloy & is #Roman in date. Cockerels were associated with #Mercury, and he may have been part of a larger votive group, perhaps in a household shrine. 🐔 pic.twitter.com/Hbdh…

For #Archive30 #handwriting we bring you graffiti from Old Beaupre Castle and Larkhill WWI training trenches. Graffiti can give us more intimate and poignant reminders of the people that came before, as well as acting as an interesting historical source #WAat40 #archaeology pic.twitter.com/3dJI…

Also recovered from our #Oxfordshire site (as mentioned in the news this week), is this late #Roman bone comb. The comb is an 'Ashby Type 10', which sometimes feature zoomorphic or geometric ornament. Ours looks to show half a tiny horse! #Archaeology #CASiteTeam #WellBeTheFront pic.twitter.com/znh7…
