A horde of Roman jewelry has been found during department store renovations in Colchester, England.
The collection includes three gold armlets, a silver chain ?necklace, two silver bracelets, a substantial silver armlet, a small ?bag of coins, and a small jewellery box containing two sets of gold earrings and four gold finger-rings. We excavated the jewellery in a solid block of soil, so that it could be excavated and carefully recorded under controlled conditions off-site. The items are still to be fully excavated, but we expect the conservation process to reveal more objects. The finds have been transferred to a secure conservation laboratory.
