A face from the past, found on King Harry Lane.
This small rim sherd from a face‑pot is just a fragment, but its features are still unmistakable. These were often used as cremation urns.
📍See this fascinating example up close at Verulamium Museum this weekend.

Roman lead sling shot / bullets and replica sling in white lit museum case
For ##FindsFriday some of the #Roman lead bullets / slingshot found close to VERVLAMIUM (St Albans) which @theduncanmackay.bsky.social thinks may be residue from Boudicca's final battle in AD 61
We think he's absolutely right
