Archaeological Treasure: Eight Enchanting Objects

Illustrator and general finds guru Emma shares eight of her favourite artefacts from over 20 years of excavating in Colchester. From beautiful to bizarre, each Roman or Late Iron Age object has its own story — and Emma brings them to life with insight, humour, and a deep appreciation for the small things that make the past personal.

Speaker: Emma Holloway
