Welcome to the archived Urban Archaeology weblog, where you can read about some of the projects undertaken during two years as a freelance archaeologist, and see examples of recent illustration work. Clicking on most images will open enlarged versions.

Chiz Harward joined Cotswold Archaeology in April 2010 as a Senior Project Officer and this blog is now archived -although given time it may be ressurected in some form!

Finsbury Circus: Roman small finds


Roman copper alloy finds from Finsbury Circus, City of London in the Museum of London Collection (click on image to enlarge).

These pins, spoon, ligulae and tweezers were found during the construction of Finsbury Circus in the early 20th century and probably derive from burials within the Roman Upper Walbrook cemetery. These finds complement examples excavated under controlled conditions by MoLAS.
