Here is just a small sample of some of the fantastic Roman ceramics that we found at this years Greenfield Valley dig. These are great examples of Roman decorated Gaulish samian ware, dating to the late 1st century AD. #FindsFriday #UKSPF #RomanArchaeology
Coming soon...another adventure in Roman Scotland! This time I travel along a Roman road from the Borders to up Perthshire and beyond, searching for evidence of the Agricolan invasion and the elusive site of Scotland's first recorded battle. #RomanSiteSaturday Tippermuir Books

Great to see the master at work today at Vindolanda Trust as Graham Taylor demonstrated throwing roman pottery, you can also meet the post excavation team and see them remove the dirt from pottery fragments revealing their secrets #HadriansWall #Archaeology

One of the most striking mosaics in the west bath house of Chedworth Roman Villa for #MosaicMonday. Rediscovered by chance in 1864, the site has been under the care of the wonderful National Trust for exactly a century! ChedworthRomanVilla
