East Lomond day 8. Today we had an amazing hearth made up of two querns (grinding stones for making flour) that had been broken up to make the kerbstones of a lovely rectangular hearth from the earlier phases of the site. Our team formed a fellowship of the querns to excavate the hearth.

Finally made it to Govan Old to see the hogback stones today. #GovanOld #TheGovanStones

A #Roman glass 'circus beaker' (so called because the animals portrayed on it - a lion & a big cat - would mostly have been seen in the arena), found in a burial in Himlingøje (Denmark) - did it get there through trade, as war booty, or a diplomatic gift, maybe..? #Archaeology #AncientBlueSky
