Merry days at the small find lab!

The afterlife of all the nice small finds had just begun once they've seen again the sunlight.


The wide process of documentation and interpretation starts already on the site and it continues in the laboratory where we wash and conserve, identify, photograph and draw them, sorting according to their material, thus ensuring the optimal storing conditions for each object.


The first week of excavation already produced around 300 small finds, including several coins, terracotta figurines, bronze fittings and a silver ring. Naturally, handling all these cool things is really interesting, besides the basement of the university offers a really nice climate in the summer heat. The two rainy days this week helped us to get up to date with all the finds, so we are really hoping the others will dig up some more superb objects!
