Another reason to be horrified: This excellent paper by @YArchaeology identified the presence of microplastics in archaeological soil samples from York now and in hsitoric samples taken in the 1980s. Microplastics found c.3m down in Roman layers. 😶 doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

Inscribed #Roman stone sarcophagus, found during the railway construction of Scarborough Bridge, York, in 1877. The inscription reads "To Julia Fortunata of Sardinia, faithful wife to her husband Verecundius Diogenes." #YorkRomans #archaeology

Complete #Roman glass unguent bottle, probably for storing oils, perfumes, or ointments. Found in 1872, during the York Railway Excavations of a large Roman cemetery site. #YorkRomans #archaeology

Calling Medieval sherd nerds! Help me out - this is a frag of early med pottery from York. I don't recognise this lattice pattern on the rim. Hard, gritty, grey fabric that feels a bit Torksey-ish. What ware is it? @SocMedArch @Medievalists

#Roman silver denarius coin, issued 109-108 BC. On one side is the head of the god Sol, the god of the sun, with a crown of solar rays. On the reverse is the goddess of the moon, Luna, driving a two-horse chariot through the night sky. #YorkRomans #numismatics

I do so enjoy walking through this entrance to @MuseumGardens. St Mary's Lodge has got such a character with it's architectural history. It's definitely seen things!

The way finding grief present in this homemade sign is truly shared by everyone involved in York tourism and the complicated little streets and names we have for everything here. @VisitYork Kings Manor colleagues - I see you.

Some lovely leaf mines in @MuseumGardens today. All common finds of tiny fly larvae munch through leaf tissues. 1) Agromyza anthracina on nettle. 2) Phytomyza chaerophylii on Cow parsley. 3) Phytomyza minuscula on Aquilegia.

Mystery mine on what I think is Ligularia sp. In York @AgromyzidaeRS I'll get the gardens manager to confirm plant, but if so seems to be not present on the website. A new host for someone?
