Old loo and evidence of murder among archaeological finds of 2025
Other finds include a Bronze Age coffin and human remains thought to belong to shipwreck victims.
Don't think I've seen this in previous years - an annual round up of #archaeology on the BBC website!
Good to see ' #treasure ' not being centre stage for once.
...also interesting to note that cash value is only mentioned in relation to the #detecting finds.

An adorable #Roman toy horse on wheels, with a small hole in the nose for a string to pass through to pull the little guy along the floor. It has some painted detail including a blanket/saddle on its back; it is 1800-2000 years old - but looks just like a modern toy! π΄ (π·BM) AncientBlueSky
