South Wales Police statement on the burglary at St Fagans Museum of History early on Monday 6th October.

How awful. There’s been a break in at the St Fagans Museum of History in west Cardiff. Artefacts have been taken including Bronze Age jewellery. I hope they are caught quickly. #heritagecrime

Fragment of mosaic with geometric border and animal central subject, hanging on a wall near a label Museum label reads CHERHILL ROMAN MOSAIC the panel shows a hunting dog bounding past a leafy tree, evidently in pursuit of a stag or hind. The subject matter and style of the mosaic are so similar to the Christian mosaics from Hinton tSt.Maryand Frampton in Dorset,that they may all have been the work of the same mosaic craftsmen, perhaps based in or near Dorchester around the 4th Century AD.

Spotted last week in my travels into the southwest. Originally covering a 2 chambered room in a 4thC building, this hunting dog fragment now lives in the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes.

I have a feeling there might be mudlarking in the next Rivers of London book 🤣

Oh yes, if that is the publication I'm thinking, it was a great conference in All Souls. Some really great papers.
