#RootsInTime dig diary day 4: Ooh! This is seriously lovely - a little Roman pot with the name POTTACV stamped on the base. It's rare to get names in archaeology, but today's star find does just that: the potter whose workshop made this Samian ware cup was called Pottacus (1/3)

History can be boring when someone tells you about it. It starts to become fascinating when you can touch it. Dying Light 2

Autumn has arrived 🍂 Let the misty and chilly site mornings begin!

From us here a Vale Treasure HQ we would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a healthy New year.

Frosty morning on site for our field archaeologists ❄️ What a view! Hope you stay warm during this week's cold weather.

The current weather has meant some extra steps are necessary for our field team...

Here is another great site in the County - an excavation at Offenham and all online for you to read and digest from ADS doi.org/10.5284/1102112 #archaeology #WorcestershireHour #Worcestershire

One of our favourite features from this site was this cistern. We filled it with water to see if it still worked as demonstrated by one of our Project Officers. 😎

Good afternoon all. We haven't been out at all with the detectors for a while, so seeing a member of the public had lost a gold ring I couldn't resist but to go and help. 45 mins later the ring has been reunited with it very emotional owner. Glad I could help
