I made this model after seeing Dani Wootton's excellent '5 Fascinating Finds' video on the Time Team channel https://youtu.be/m-Z1uM9DMRI

This model illustrates Dani's description of how Roman pottery was mass produced using a mould with decorations pressed into the mould surface.  Click on the annotations on the model for more information.

In researching this model I visited the British Museum in London to get a closer look at the 'punches' that were used to create the decorative indentations in the mould surface.  I felt sure the surface of the punch must be curved to follow the contour of the mould but wasn't sure if the curve was more pronounced so that the punch would be rocked back and forwards when being pressed into the clay.  The example I saw at the British Museum (Ancient Rome room - display case 26 - see below) showed a punch with a figure on it and a slight convex curve which I think would have matched the surface of the mould.

This Roman Brooch was found at the Friends Burial Ground, a little south of Staines High Street. It is in fabulous condition, still retaining its pin and enamelling. The brooch would look great holding clothing in place and makes a real statement. It can been seen on display in Spelthorne Museum in a drawer under the main Roman display case, so please remember to open the drawers and investigate there. Along with the brooch you will see hair pins, a comb, mirror, rings and small spoons/scoops – everything you need to look you best.

Excavation (1976) by K. Crouch for LAMAS and DOE revealed a Romano British occupation site of late lst/2nd century date, abandoned 3rd century with some reoccupation in the 4th. There was evidence of 5th/6th century Saxon occupation; the site was given over to agriculture from the late Saxon period. (London Archaeol 2, 362-5).
