Trimontium (Newstead) Archaeological Finds
#6
At 18 feet 9 inches, a skeleton of a dwarf lying across the pit. Below the skeleton, the skull of a dog, many oyster and mussel shells, the skull of an ox, fragments of leather, among it many small circular pieces. Fragments of Terra Sigillata, among them pieces of a decorated bowl (Type, Dragendorff 30) with cruciform pattern (page 211, Fig 1), and of a platter (Type, Dragendorff 18) with the incomplete stamp OF.V (VITALIS?). Bricks, portions of flue tiles, a large iron hammer (Plate LVII., Fig. 6). A small saw with deer horn handle (Plate LXVIII., Fig. 6), an iron stylus and a finger ring, shells of oysters and mussels, and many hazel nuts.

That must have been one hell of a party !
