Every week our teams of archaeologists are uncovering interesting finds across the country. Whether it is an artefact or an ecofact, each piece of evidence helps us build a more detailed picture of the past. 

Join us in an exciting journey of discovery.

I spent the evening with local communities around Aston, showing some of the finds from our excavations in the area.

This Roman gold ring was found by our resident metal detectorist. It has a bright green glass bezel setting, probably 3rd-4th century. It’s not everyday you find a gold artefact! #doingthegolddance
