  • The Romans in Worcester a Town and Its Hinterland Education Pack
    The Romans in Worcester A Town and its Hinterland Education Pack Education Pack Welcome The Romans in Worcester resource is intended to align with the national curriculum in England, with the focus on Worcester and its hinterland bringing the wider understanding of Roman Britain closer to home. The resource book provides information for teachers of Key Stage 2 learners, along with accompanying PowerPoint presentations, suggested activities and other resources. There is an accompanying loan box incorporating replica items as well as archaeological finds from the Mab’s Orchard excavation at Warndon, Worcester. The book is laid out with information for teachers shown alongside the relevant PowerPoint slides, to help you explore a variety of themes with your learners. At the start of each chapter and before each activity, we provide a listing of relevant points in the Key Stage 2 programme of study. The understanding of historical concepts, such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity and difference, is a key aim within the national curriculum for history, while the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain (including ‘Romanisation’ of Britain: sites such as Caerwent and the impact of technology, culture and beliefs, including early Christianity) is a required part of the Key Stage 2 curriculum. Therefore we have highlighted key changes and new introductions that took place in the Roman period by marking the text in bold. We hope that you will find this a useful and inspiring resource for bringing archaeology and the Romans into your classroom.

  • The Portable Antiquities Scheme Annual Report 2011
    The Portable Antiquities Scheme Annual Report 2011 Edited by Michael Lewis Published by the Department of Portable Antiquities and Treasure, British Museum 1 2 Foreword We are pleased to introduce this report on the work of the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) and Treasure Act 1996, which also highlights some fascinating and important finds reported in 2011. We are especially grateful to Treasure Hunting who once again agreed to publish this report free within their magazine. The PAS and Treasure Act continue to be a great success, Ed Vaizey highlighted by the fact that ITV have made a primetime Minister for Culture, television series – Britain’s Secret Treasures – about the top 50 finds Communications & found by the public. It is thanks to the efforts of the finders Creative Industries and to the work of the PAS, particularly its network of Finds Liaison Officers, that 97,509 PAS and 970 Treasure finds were reported in 2011. This recording work was supported by interns, volunteers and finders who record their own discoveries, and we are particularly grateful to the Headley Trust and the Institute for Archaeologists/Heritage Lottery Fund who funded interns in the period of this report. We are therefore delighted that the Headley Trust has agreed to extend its funding for interns for a further two years, 2012/13 and 2013/14. We are also grateful to Neil MacGregor the generosity of an American philanthropist who has funded the Director of the post of assistant to the Finds Adviser for Iron Age and Roman British Museum coins, for two years. Archaeological finds discovered by the public are helping to rewrite the archaeology and history of our past, and therefore it is excellent news that the Leverhulme Trust has agreed to fund a £150k project, ‘The PAS database as a tool for archaeological research’, to examine in detail the factors that underlie this large and rapidly growing dataset.

  • Presidential Address 2014 Coin Hoards and Hoarding in Britain
    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS 2014 COIN HOARDS AND HOARDING IN BRITAIN (3): RADIATE HOARDS ROGER BLAND Introduction IN my first presidential address I gave an overview of hoarding in Britain from the Bronze Age through to recent times,1 while last year I spoke about hoards from the end of Roman Britain.2 This arises from a research project (‘Crisis or continuity? Hoards and hoarding in Iron Age and Roman Britain’) funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and based at the British Museum and the University of Leicester. The project now includes the whole of the Iron Age and Roman periods from around 120 BC to the early fifth century. For the Iron Age we have relied on de Jersey’s corpus of 340 Iron Age coin hoards and we are grateful to him for giving us access to his data in advance of publica- tion.3 For the Roman period, our starting point has been Anne Robertson’s Inventory of Romano-British Coin Hoards (RBCH),4 which includes details of 2,007 hoards, including dis- coveries made down to about 1990. To that Eleanor Ghey has added new discoveries and also trawled other data sources such as Guest and Wells’s corpus of Roman coin finds from Wales,5 David Shotter’s catalogues of Roman coin finds from the North West,6 Penhallurick’s corpus of Cornish coin finds,7 Historic Environment Records and the National Monuments Record. She has added a further 1,045 Roman hoards, taking the total to 3,052, but this is not the final total.

  • The Frome Hoard How a Massive Find Changes Everything
    281 SAM MOORHEAD National Finds Adviser for Iron Age and Roman coins, Portable Antiquities and Treasure, British Museum THE FROME HOARD HOW A MASSIVE FIND CHANGES EVERYTHING Abstract The Frome Hoard of 52,503 coins, discovered in 2010, is the second largest Roman coin hoard found in Britain. Not only is it of great numismatic significance, with over 850 pieces of Carausius (AD 286-93), but also it has had an enormous impact on broader archaeological and museological practices. The hoard was discovered by a metal detectorist, Dave Crisp, but he left the pot in the ground for professional excavation. This provided invaluable context for the hoard and enabled numismatists to determine that the hoard was buried in a single event. The sudden arrival of the coins at the British Museum was a catalyst for the Roman Coin and Metals Conservation sections at the British Museum to develop a new way of processing the 80 or so hoards which arrive annually. The apparent ritual significance of the hoard led to much academic and popular debate, resulting in a major Arts and Humanities Research Council research project between Leicester University and the British Museum. The worldwide publicity concerning the hoard enabled a major fund-raising campaign which secured the coins for the Museum of Somerset in Taunton. The high profile of the hoard also resulted in a British Museum video-conferencing activity for school children. Finally, the good practice of Dave Crisp, in calling for professional assistance, has resulted in numerous detectorists leaving hoards in the ground for archaeologists to excavate.

  • £320250 Needed to Save Frome Hoard for Somerset
    For immediate release Contact: Marina Bradbury, [email protected], 020 7225 4888 £320,250 needed to save Frome Hoard for Somerset Art Fund to match-fund public donations to appeal Today, the value of the Frome Hoard has been announced at £320,250. Somerset County Council Heritage Service now has until 1 February 2011 to raise the funds in order to keep this important treasure on public display in the county in which it was discovered. The rare find, made up of 52,503 Roman coins dating from the 3rd century AD, was unearthed tightly packed in a pot and is the largest coin hoard to have been found in a single container. The Art Fund, the national fundraising charity for works of art, today announces a grant of £40,250 to kick-start the appeal. For the first time, the Fund is offering members of the public the chance to double the value of their donation to the appeal. For every £1 donated by a member of the public, the Art Fund will match fund it – up to a total value of £10,000, thereby boosting the appeal with up to a further £20,000. Stephen Deuchar, director of the Art Fund, said: “We’re extremely excited to be part of Somerset’s campaign to acquire this extraordinary treasure. To think that this pot packed full of coins lay buried beneath the soil for almost 2,000 years – it really is incredible. We need to save the hoard so that experts can carry out vital research – and so that new generations can enjoy and be inspired by it.

  • Presidential Address 2012 Hoarding in Britain: an Overview
    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS 2012 HOARDING IN BRITAIN: AN OVERVIEW ROGER BLAND Introduction: what is a hoard? IN this paper I discuss some aspects of the study of hoards found in Britain. There is a very rich heritage of hoards of coins (and other metal artefacts), and their study underpins our understanding of how coins circulated in this country. Much has been written on what hoards can tell us about coinage, or, for example, Bronze Age metalwork and there have been many studies of hoards of different periods, but there have been few attempts at an overview of hoarding across time.1 I shall raise some questions about hoarding in general to see whether one can make connections across periods. In the summer of 2013 the British Museum and University of Leicester initiated a research project, with funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, on ‘Crisis or continuity? The deposition of metalwork in the Roman world: what do coin hoards tell us about Roman Britain in the third century AD?’ Three research assistants will be employed and a complete data- base of all Roman hoards from Britain will be published online at www.finds.org.uk. The project will also include a survey of a large sample of hoards to try to understand better why they were buried. In this paper I introduce some of the themes we intend to explore further in this project. First, we need to consider what is meant by the term ‘hoard’. I will look at hoarding and the deposition of artefacts in the ground in the broadest sense and by ‘hoard’ I mean any group of objects which have been deliberately brought together, but not necessarily deliberately placed in the ground – so the contents of a purse lost by accident would also count.

  • From the Fjords to the Nile. Essays in Honour of Richard Holton Pierce
    From the Fjords to the Nile brings together essays by students and colleagues of Richard Holton Pierce (b. 1935), presented on the occasion of his 80th birthday. It covers topics Steiner, Tsakos and Seland (eds) on the ancient world and the Near East. Pierce is Professor Emeritus of Egyptology at the University of Bergen. Starting out as an expert in Egyptian languages, and of law in Greco-Roman Egypt, his professional interest has spanned from ancient Nubia and Coptic Egypt, to digital humanities and game theory. His contribution as scholar, teacher, supervisor and informal advisor to Norwegian studies in Egyptology, classics, archaeology, history, religion, and linguistics through more than five decades can hardly be overstated. Pål Steiner has an MA in Egyptian archaeology from K.U. Leuven and an MA in religious studies from the University of Bergen, where he has been teaching Ancient Near Eastern religions. He has published a collection of Egyptian myths in Norwegian. He is now an academic librarian at the University of Bergen, while finishing his PhD on Egyptian funerary rituals. Alexandros Tsakos studied history and archaeology at the University of Ioannina, Greece. His Master thesis was written on ancient polytheisms and submitted to the Université Libre, Belgium. He defended his PhD thesis at Humboldt University, Berlin on the topic ‘The Greek Manuscripts on Parchment Discovered at Site SR022.A in the Fourth Cataract Region, North Sudan’. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bergen with the project ‘Religious Literacy in Christian Nubia’. He From the Fjords to Nile is a founding member of the Union for Nubian Studies and member of the editorial board of Dotawo.

Rowe, (Department of Greek and Roman Studies) Supervisor Dr. J. Geoffrey Kron, (Department of Greek and Roman Studies) Departmental Member The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the Roman administrative towns of Britain continued in their original Romanized form as seen in the second century AD, or were altered in their appearance and function in the fourth and fifth century, with a visible reduction in their urbanization and Romanization. It will be argued that British town life did change significantly. Major components of urbanization were disrupted with the public buildings disused or altered for other purposes, and the reduction or cessation of public services. A reduction in the population of the towns can be perceived in the eventual disuse of the extramural cemeteries and abandonment of substantial areas of settlement or possibly entire towns.
