🌟 Nominated for the Current Archaeology Rescue Project of the Year 2025 🌟 Our Roman wooden finds from Holborn Viaduct included the discovery of an incredibly rare Roman funerary bed, incredibly well preserved in the damp mud of the River Fleet. This bed may have been intended as a grave good for use in the afterlife. Tombstones from across the Roman Empire show carvings of the deceased reclining on a couch or bed and eating as if they were alive.
